Margie & Janice:
My prayers are with you both. Your Mom was my second mother and my Mom's best friend. She helped raise us and loved us as her own. She will be missed by so many people, I know that she and Mom will be watching over us from heaven.
All my best, Sharee (MS Bobbie's daughter)

Nanny, As I sit here signing this book for you, my heart is so sad. You mean the world to me and to so many others. You have always been the core of our family. You have raised your children, all of your grandchildren, and have even helped raise your great grandchildren. You are so loved by many. I know you are with Papa and Uncle Jimmy now, but I still miss you dearly. I am so greatful to have had you in my life for as long as I did. I know that you will be looking down on us and I have so many memories with you. I love you Nanny and forever will hold you in my heart. Your granddaughter, Tammy
