Faye, I was so sorry to learn of your sister's passing. I know you loved her very much, and will miss her greatly. She was a beautiful lady, and looked so much like you. My prayers are with you. Love you, my dear friend, Alice

When I was a little girl, I thought my Aunt Bess was a beautiful, fancy lady because she wore tight skirts & high-heeled shoes!! I wanted to grow up to be just like her.

She was, indeed, a very special lady. I will always remember her laugh -- especially when she was playing a trick on one of her siblings! One Christmas, she gave my Dad a beautiful box of chocolates. The box was covered in gold foil, wrapped in cellophane, & had a beautiful gold bow on top. When Dad opened the box to taste one of the candies, he discovered that she had eaten all the chocolates & had pain-stakingly replaced them with small smooth rocks that were each nestled in the fluted candy wrappers!! What a laugh she had!!!

Paula & Pam, I know that this is surely a lonely & scary time. Please remember that you have family in Oklahoma. We would love for you to come spend some time with us. We are here if you need us.

My thoughts & prayers are with you. Your beautiful mother's memory will live forever in my heart.
