God has received another Angel! Memaw will be sadly missed by all of us, Dona Waters, Collin Owen, Bo, Mallise & Makayla Harper. She always had a kind word to say. Every time I seen her she would ask me how my day was and if I was working hard or hardly working. We would get a kick because it was usually the latter. She always had a smile and a hug. God could not have ask for a better Angel to help Him decorate the skies beautifully.

I'm so sad to hear of Aunt Wanda's passing. My heart goes out to my cousins, Sandy, Donna, Jenny, Susan, Deborah and Penny. I will always remember the great Christmas parties and the fun times we had together! I know that she had many welcoming arms to hug her when she arrived in Heaven, but none so welcoming as your Dad, my favorite Uncle Sam....

Love, Donna

So sad to hear of this sweet lady's passing. My thoughts are with you all for peace. I thoroughly enjoyed working with her as her PT over the past few years. She had a fighting spirit, and this makes me very sad to hear. We rest assured that she is in a better place, hanging Christmas ornaments on the highest trees!!
