Bobby: I will never forget the breakfasts that she made for us prior to our hurting trips as we were growing up. Everytime I would come by, she always wanted to feed me. She was a real sweetheart to me as I grew up. She was an extroadinary friend of my Mother's. I can remember her pulling up in front of the house in her 1963 Pontiac wagon telling Mom she couldn't cut it off or it wouldn't start back up. She was a real lady and such a devoted Mother to her children. We will miss her and are so fortunate to have had her as a part of our lives growing up.

Pat, John and Bob,
I remember many visits to your home and always how gracious your mother was. She was always willing to give someone the shirt off her back. She has set a great example for all of us to follow. May fond memories of her always be with you.

Best Regards,

Larry Burnett
