She the baby! That is what you would say about me. Daddy died a year before I married and you walked me down the aisle and happily gave me away. Just kidding. You kept me supplied.with baby dolls while you were in the Navy. One year you sent me two. Those were the best but so we're you. So many memories come to mind when I think of you. I will miss you and your advice, wanted or not. Love, your baby sister.

You were my big brother. I love you and remember all the good times. You were there for our parents and all your younger brothers and sisters. You made our life easier. We lost Benny and then Pervis, the light of my life. Love you

Donna & Bruce, shocked to hear of your Dad's death, but oh how happy he is to be with your mama. He dearly loved Loretha. Let the many wonderful memories you have ease the sadness and warm your heart. Laugh at remembering a joke he told often. My love, thoughts and prayers are with your families as we go forward.
I can imagine him telling tales now, at the table in heaven!

Donna and Bruce: My heart goes out to you at this time. May all your memories help you at this time. God works in so many ways, To me Sydney and Caroline were always called "Cuz". Watched you two grow up and time flies by. Sydney and your Mom would indeed help anyone they could. He will be missed by those who knew him. Love to your whole family and will keep you in my prayers.
