Grandma, I will always hold special the memories of our family trips back to Arkansas...from wagon rides, to the swimming holes to eating watermelon on the back porch. May peace be with you. I love you.

You never realize the influence a person has on your life until that person is no longer there. When I think of Grandma I remember flowers, pumpkin bread in coffee cans, family - especially cousins, singing and playing music, picnicing and swimming, jumping off the banister, family pictures,Dogpatch, stories of the past, KFC and going for drives. Grandma was sharp, sassy and witty until the last 2 days of her life. It was an honor to be a part of Grandma’s care at the end. This care spanned four generation with Grandma, Mom, me, and Megan, each of us holding up the other. A special memory will always exist between Mom, Becky, Karen, and I. I know that you are at the “Little Green Valley” Grandma.

Dear Becky, You were a great honor to your mother. All of your many efforts to make her comfortable in her late years and time was a blessing for her. You will be rewarded in Heaven for this. May God bless you and your family.

Grandma, when I think of you so many memories come to mind. From sitting on the porch visiting with everybody to riding bikes on the front sidewalk. I will also remember the many hours I sat and played with your jump the peg game, you could beat it everytime, I still can't. You will be deeply missed by so many people that loved you. -Lanie

Susan Duke· GrandmotherNov 21, 2008

Dear Grandma, I will always remember our family trips back to your home. It was always a fun trip playing with my cousins, catching fire flies and june bugs, going swimming with snapping turles and just sitting on the front porch visiting. Love you.
