Karen, When I think of your mom, I can hear that little giggle of hers and her spunky way of keeping us in line when we needed it. Best memory is NYC @ Christmas. She was the most entergetic of us all! My prayer to you and your family during this time of grief.

To The O'steen family: It was around 1970 or '71 and I will always remember Mrs. O'steen being kind and friendly to a young 14 year old boy that would walk across AIA in the evenings from his grocery baggging job at the old J&L Food Banner to buy and snack on two of the best hush puppies in the south. She would always slip in either a third or a couple of shrimp and tell me to be sure to tell my parents hello. I have great memory's of growing up in my hometown and Mrs.O'steen is a part of all those great moments. All my prayers to your family during this time.
