Johnny, Lisa, and Lori, I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. Your mom was a kind and very pretty lady. I’ll always remember what a big Elvis fan she was, with the Elvis street sign and velvet painting. You’re in my thoughts and prayers.

I remember Carol as such a sweet girl. I always thought when she smiled that she was so pretty. I havent seen her through the years, but she was one of those special people you just don’t forget,and I am thinking back to the mid 6o’s, so that tells you how much I admired her and remember that we had a lot of fun! I know just how much she will be missed. My heart goes out to the family and all who were close to her. Take comfort that she will be in the resurrection that God has promised.

Wow. I have never seen any of these comments before until today, my Meemaw’s birthday. Thank you everyone for all these kind words, my family and I greatly appreciate it. She was the best grandma anyone could ever ask for! My Meemaw and PawPaw did everything for us! They were at every game, cheer competition, and school function that we ever had. I had the best childhood because I was blessed to have them both as my grandparents. Today I woke up very sad I couldn’t be with my Meemaw on her 66th birthday but then I read all these comments you all have made and it put a very big smile on my face. Thank you again everyone. She is greatly missed by many.
