I remember the last time I went to see Maw Maw Cobbler. I walked into the room where she was lying on the bed and asked her how she was doing. That's when she turned to look at me, threw her hands up in the air, and shouted "Oh Lord, I'm just waitin' to go home!" That memory will stay in my mind forever, and it's because of that remark, I know that Maw Maw is where she needs to be.

I dreamt of a white road,
And saw a man down the way.
As he neared, I saw it was my beloved.
He took my hand and escorted me into Heaven,
And I dreamed no more.
Eternally Reunited,
Pearl and Elmer are singing praises unto God.
And what a reunion it must be!
This is a dream Mamaw had about grandpa that she shared with us and we thought all would love to hear it. We love you Mamaw!

I would like to thank everyone for their visits to Mom before and during her illness. Thanks for your prayers, cards, calls, flowers and food. I had the privilige of being with Mom when visited by Brother and Sister Green and watched as she would lift her hands to praise God with them. Mom touched many lives in witnessing for the Lord. She was my partner in ministering and witnessing at the nursing home as well as at church and I will miss that most of all, but I thank God that I have the assurance of seeing her again. Rose

Mamaw,
Has been a great inspiration in my life. If mamaw hasn't been around as long as she was, I may not know what a grandmother really was. I have alot of great memories of her and especially before she got sick and she couldn't get around like she use too especially when I would take her to church with me. I enjoy every minute with her. I don't think as many grandchildren that mamaw had that no one can hold the memories of her like I can and I will continue as long as I lived.

Thanks to everyone who made Mama's life here on earth a little better. Today I miss her more than yesterday. She was not only my Mom she was my friend. I look at the apple tree in my front yard she loved that apple tree. She watched the apples grow and would ask me what I was going to do with them when they got ripe. I would tell her nothing and she would say that Kay could make pies with them. It was hard when my Daddy died but nothing like when I lost Mama. In the last year she was the child I never had. Mama I love you and will miss you.

Long before Mom became unable to get out and about, she was always THRILLED with a visit from her children, family and friends. Just to see them walk through the door made her day. She truly loved and enjoyed her children. I thank God for the time I had with Mom. I hope as I face my life ahead, I can do it with the Grace and Courage Mom did. Thanks to all who loved MOM. Shirley

I have been blessed as a person to have been able to know my great-grandmother. She lived a full life on earth and now I know she is happy to be in heaven with great-grandpa. She was always full of spirit. I will always remember her.

Mama Pearl was such a precious jewel to me. She treated me as if I was one of her own children and would greet me with a smile or a reprimand, whichever one I deserved at the time. My memories of her bring a smile to my face and I know I am a better person for having known her. And I hope your memories will make you smile as we celebrate Mama Pearl's life.
