Austin and Doug
Sandra called and informed me of your mother's death. She was such a godly woman. I know she will be missed by everyone who knew her. My prayers will be with you and your families. My youth was better by knowing each of you and your parents. May God bless.

I have many wonderful memories of Aunt Earlene. Like the time she came to visit me in FL. with my mom. What a fun week we had! And when I was young going to her house and picking vegetables and strawberries! As she was older spending time with her and mom taking them out to eat an just having fun with them. I will always think of her with a smile on her face and bringing joy and laughter with her! What a special lady! I know she will be missed by her son's and their families, but many of us hold a special place in our hearts for her!

We have many fond memories of Nancy at Talmadge Terrace. She loved those tomato sandwiches, didn't she! We made those with our garden tomatoes, Sunbeam white bread and Duke's mayonnaise. She had such a positive attitude--never complaining (well, not much). Having her next door to Mother made Mother's life much better. We are happy that her suffering is over and sad that we no longer have her with us.

What an amazing lady Mrs. Earlene was. We are very sorry for your loss and will continue to keep you all in our prayers. We are blessed that she leaves us with an amazing legacy, in her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
We love you,
Todd, DRee, Jack and Luke
