"Granny on the hill" is how we will always remember you & we'll surely miss you. Upfront & spoke what's on your mind but easy to talk to even if it meant hearing what ya didn't wanna hear... that's what I loved about ya anyhow! May you rest in peace & know you were loved by many. (I'm mother to 2 of her great-grandsons.)

Granny...You were the best Mother-n-law a person could ever ask for. We have had many, many long talks about everything under the sun. You were more like my Mama than Olen's. I know you're gonna be sitting out in the swing up there. Save me a seat 'cause I'm gonna be there beside you someday. I Love you and will always cherish the times we had. Rest in Peace Ma!!
