My grandmother was the sweetest and most beautiful person I'd ever been around and when I would come over and we would put on makeup we would always say if pawpaw (Thomas Lunsford) saw us he would say we we're too pretty for makeup, the happiest I saw her was when we talked about him she was a angel sent to our family.

Good-bye Mamma. I love and miss you sooo much. Thank you for being the loving mother that showed that little bit and I were the most important part of your life above and beyond all else. For always being there for us no matter what the situation may be. You taught us through example the meaning of absolutely unconditional love. I'm glad that you are no longer in constant pain, and are where you belong amongst the other angels. Tell Daddy n em that we said hey, and that we love him and miss him too.
In loving memory,
Chris.

I have very fond memories of your mom Lloyd and Chris. She and your grandmother were so kind and sweet to me. I remember her being at your grandmother's house when I would visit and she always made me feel at home. She was a very kind, sweet and loving lady and made you feel at home. I know you both will miss her. I miss my mom and Rusty misses his mom as well.Pat always seemed to have a lot of energy. I thought she was like a super woman. She will be greatly missed by many, but is with your dad and grandma. She is in a far better place now and in no more pain. RIP PAT it was a pleasure to know you.
