I will always remember my Aunt Sissy's laughter and smile. As kids her and my mom pulling me and Beckum in a wagon,or her worrying about Becky and I driving around gettin into trouble. All were welcome at her house and most times plenty of people would be over visiting. Aunt Sissy, as my mom would say, would give you the shirt off her back. We will always have those memories of her. I am glad to have memories of an Aunt that was truley a sweet, kind, and giving woman. Despite many hardships she raised 3 really awesome, good kids that I am proud to have grown up with..God Bless you Aunt Sis, see you one day. Love and prayers to all my cousins, Dawn
