Ann, Preston, Buddy, Alice and other family members my heart goes out for your loss of a special loved mom and friend to many. I , myself remember the many times I shared at their home and the welcome I was given by Authur and Dot and family. I hope you find this transition a little less painful in the memories you all share. May you find peace of mind knowing that one day we will all be together again on that special day.

Sincerely,
Joyce

To my second mom (DOT) I'm sad that your gone, but I'm glad that you are in heaven with my mom(PEGGY). I'm sure you too have alot to catch up on. You will always be in my heart and I will always remember my days and nights spent in your presence. You are one of the sweetest, strongest and all around persons I've ever known.

To the family:
I love you all and I know what your going through. Time does heal your heart, but you will always miss her.
Take care of each other and be proud of her and the things she did in life.
