She was a special Aunt who left me with beautiful memories. She was a symbol of faith with a light that shone from within and I was blessed to call her Aunt.

Dear Linda & Brenda,
My fondest family memories are of visiting our Grandfather and Grandmother Calhoun in Montgomery and walking down that overgrown road behind their little house to go visit you and your mom and dad. I can remember sitting in your kitchen before your new house was built and talking to your dad. I might have been 8 years old. When all of us Calhoun cousins were there, I couldn't wait to tag along with Patsy and Lynn when they went to visit you!
The last time I saw your precious mom was when my daddy and I visited with her about 10 or so years ago. She gave me a picture of my mom and me that I had never seen! I was 2 years old. That picture is the most special one I have! I know your mom is having a wonderful time visiting with the Calhoun girls and Bertha and Howard in Heaven! Love to you all!
