I have known "Aunt Ludie", since Chase. (This was a title all the youngsters called her in the Chase days).She has been around a long time. I can remember her putting snuff on all my bee stings. My mom would say " Go to aunt Ludie house so she can put some snuff on that bee sting".I have not seen her in years; but I still have my memories of her.She was truly a blessing to have known.
To the family be blessed and comforted with her memories and wisdom.
