An angel has returned to heaven as her work here on earth is now complete. She will now be with you in your hearts in the good times, bad times and every special occasion that is to come as she waits to reunite with the rest of her family and friends when that blessed day shall come.

Trish, Vickie, and Rickie,
I am so sorry for your loss. I loved your Mom and really enjoyed all of the time I spent with her as a kid. My Mom would ask her to go pick Bonnie up in Abilene and a lot of times I would go with her and we had such a good time. That's when she taught me the exercise song (for fingers!). She will always be in my heart just as each of you will carry her with you everyday. I'm sorry I can't be there with you at this time but I will see you soon. Much love, Marty

Gwen & I were great friends while living in Grandfalls. My heart is saddened. Had wondered where she was living for years after we met up in Odessa years ago. May God's peace be the comforting force that you all need right now. She was a great lady. Glenda Capehart Stovall
