Maudie - I am so very lucky to have you in my life. You were not just everyone's friend, you were a confidant and our source of inspiration and motivation - though we cannot see you - you will always stay alive and smiling in our memories and hearts. May your sweet soul rest in peace.

Maude will be so missed. We loved our visits with her and all the fun we had. She loved the chocolate covered potato chips we would bring her on Christmas Day every year. She lived a long and wonderful life and now is reunited with the love of her life. Rest in Peace Maude. We love you forever.

My favorite memories of Joan are the times I would go out to watch approaching storms and she would call me in her house to do some chore (that didn't need doing) to get me out of harms way. Such a wonderful lady...loved living next door to her for many years. She did not like me storm watching!!! Rest in Peace sweet lady you are so missed. Condolences to Brenda and Bobby and the rest of the family Prayers.

Such a beautiful and wonderful Lady I was so fortunate to have known. She is once again united with Bob in God's heavenly kingdoms. Wishing you peace to bring comfort, courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your heart.
