Harold, Kenny and families
I consider it an honor to have known your mother and to have gotten to know the family. I will never forget my visit to her home when she was deciding to look into assisted living and following that visit, we remained close! She always respected my support to her.
I will miss her as I know you will, but I cherish the memories we have made. Love and Prayers. Karen T. Thompson, Floyd

Kenny & Mary Ann - Harold and Helen -- No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. A Mother's love is so special our prayers are with you all through this difficult time. As my baby girl said when mom died - "Mom - Granny's walking streets of gold and talking with Pa Pa" (Out the mouths of babes). Bea too is walking streets of gold! Keep the memories close and they will last your lifetime until you see her and walk those streets with her. God Bless!

Harold, Helen, Kenny & Mary Ann, I was saddened when Bobby Dean called to tell me of Auntie Bea's passing but rejoice in knowing that she is now in heaven, Praise Be To God! She was a very special lady and I'm sure she and Ma Jones are having a ball together! Please know that all of you are in my prayers during this difficult time. I pray that you find comfort in knowing that you will see Auntie Bea again someday. Sending love and hugs your way.
