“My beautiful Grandmother, I can’t believe God has taken you from me (us) so soon. I wish we could have one more conversation. One more hug and kiss on the cheek. You were perfect and no one else was like you. You were the glue that held our family together and to think that you have left this earth and joined God in Heaven is just still so surreal. I love you more than words can express, and I can’t wait for the day that I join you in heaven. I know you and my Grandma Gayle are up there watching over me. Give her a big hug for me and wait for me okay. I’ll see you later alligator! Rest easy my Love (Written by Granddaughter Autum Davis)”Visitation: 11:00 AM to 12:00 Noon, Monday, September 29, 2025 at Hatmaker Funeral Home.Funeral Service: 12:00 Noon, Monday, September 29, 2025 in the Hatmaker Funeral Home Chapel with Pastor Preston W.
