My prayers are with you and the kids. Remembering all the nights Sue and the kids would come over to Mom and Dads and hang out while you and Dad went coon hunting. That was the time I really remember learning to like popcorn, Sister Sue ate it, I believe every night. She was special, and will be missed. Love and Appreciate you and the family.

I’m going to miss her so much she was the best grandma anyone could ever have. I wish I could’ve been awake that morning so I could’ve seen her one last time.
