Steve,
Your family are in our prayers! We
did not know your Mom, she stopped
at our home once because we bought
the home place. She wanted to come
in and look around because we remodeled and to thank us for cleaning up her Mom's place, she said see can pass by here now when
going to the cemetary. I'm glad
to know that she was carried by here
Sat. to her resting place because she loved to drive out this way.
She shared many stories of the homeplace and we really enjoyed her
visit.
In Christ Love
Darryl & Debbie Walker

Steve and Family,

I have never met you but feel as if I know you personally. I fixed your Mom's hair for quite a while when we lived in Camden which was about 40 years ago. She would share with me special things you were doing and always with a contagious smile on her face. She literally thought you "hung the moon."

I have many good memories of her and I know you do too. My prayers are with you.
