Never thought I'd miss the daily phone conversation of Grandma asking me "What are you gonna do today" and me saying "Nothing, I don't feel like doing anything" then her reply "Well, nothing is a good job to do".
Going to miss you terribly but I'll see you later :)

Betty Joe, Marie, Judy and your families know this, but I must say that your Mother was one of the sweetest ladies in the world. She will truly be missed and fondly remembered by all that ever had the pleasure of knowing her warm and loving nature. I talked with Dad on several occasions (Quinton) about attending Aunt Velma's service but he said that he can not make the trip. I remember several of our trips to Florida and we stayed with your mom and dad, you were made and always felt right at home, Aunt Velma's cooking and making sure you had everything you needed and Uncle Raymond's stories, what great memories. I know words can only comfort so much, but the precious memories we all have can, remember those.
In deepest sympathy from the entire Quinton Goodin family, Dad(Quinton), Bill and Darlene, Vi and Frank Maus, and us, Greg and Sherry.
We love you.
