What can I say that most people don't already know about Aunt Sissy. She was an amazing woman who touched every one's life that she came in contact with. She devoted her life to taking care of people as a nurse and was a devoted loving mother, grandmother, sister, wife and aunt. She will never be forgotten. She had the smile of an angel and a heart of gold. Her soul has been set free and today is she smiling down on all of us. We love you Aunt Sissy.

My grandmother was a very special person. She worked as a nurse her whole life. She touched many lives. She was my role model. I always wanted to be like her. She is why I became a nurse. She was always there for friends and family anytime anyone needed her. I just wish that she didn't have to suffer so much these last few years. I love her so much and will miss her. But I know she is an angel now. Love your granddaughter Darlene.
