I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of my dear friend. Tommie Lee, Annette, Beverly, Crystal, grands, cherish the memories. Praying God grant you strength during this time of weakness. That in Him you find joy during this time of sorrow, and feel comfort as He holds you in His loving arms.

In The Absence of Light!

"What of this radiance which was once so bright, be now forever taken from our sight. Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass, of glory and the flower; We should grieve not, yet find strength in what remains behind.

What she leaves behind is a devoted husband, three extraordinary daughters, grandchildren, family, and friends that adore her and will hold her in their hearts for a lifetime, as I certainly will.

I will miss your lemon meringue pies. Doll's are good, but not quite as good as yours! I love you still and I always will. Rest In Peace and say hello to my parents!
