Dearest Karen, Bobbie Kay and Benjeana, I am so sad to hear of Helen's passing. Although you will feel this loss forever, I am encouraged to read of all the family you have around you to support you. I know that encourages you, too. Wish I could see you. Please know I will be thinking of you. I love you all!

Mamaw...you were the Matriach of our family, lessons we learned all started with you, I am so grateful God gave me you as my grandmother. I will never forget our talks, the love shared, nor the scoldings needed. You were firm but loving and I pass that on to my kids. I love you and will miss you always. Kiss my Momma, Daddy and Papaw for me. Love, Dodie Ann oxoxo
