I have lots of childhood memories with this Lady, we used to love making her laugh, ( she had a great laugh) she never minded having a yard full of neighbor hood kids, and she would always French braid my hair when I ask her to. She always had a smile for everyone. Tammy, Shelia, Justin, Rhonda, I´m very sorry for your loss. With love.....Monie Ashby
