Aunt Rebie was a great woman! She could make an apple cake that was to die for. I will always remember spending time with her in the holler. She will always hold a special place in my heart.
To all of her children, I am so sorry for the loss of your wonderful mother. Heaven has sure received a precious angel. My thoughts and prayers are with each one of you.
Love,
