It´s rare I cook a meal for others without thinking of my grandmother. I miss them both.

Grandmother, thank you for sharing your son with me. Thank you for teaching him to be the man that he is. God has blessed me by allowing me to observe first hand the love that you and Pa had for others and how you gave of yourselves to others. You both touched the lives and influenced the lives of so very many people, both friends and family. You were loved by many and they will miss you for the rest of their lives. Eddie Mae

Mother, I love you and will miss you. Thank you for all that taught me and all the love, support and encouragement that you always gave me. I knew that I could always count on you for anything and everything. You were loved by many and will be missed by many. Your son.

Still...when I think of you, my sweet grandmother, I get tears in my eyes...not so much from saddness (although I miss you terribly)...but from honor and and an intense feeling of being so blessed for being your grand-daughter. I love the wonderful times we had and the lessons you taught. I only hope I can be half as strong...and beautiful!

Sorry to hear about Mrs. Owens. She will be missed by everyone that knew her. Our thougths and prayers will be with the family.
Kindest Regards,
Eldon and Dot Merritt
