Momma. What can I say about the woman who loved me so completely. She did not have to. I was not her blood. But she did. She was my light during a difficult time in my life...always pointing me back to Jesus. I know she was not perfect, but she was perfect to me. I love you Melba Dean. Tell Michael and Rusty I miss them and give Pawpaw Wicker a hug from me. I know he is so happy to see you.

David so sorry for your loss. You were a very great person to have taken care of Melba like you did. I love y'all takebcare
