My Sweet Sheila, I can't think of a childhood memory that does not include You and Charlie. From camping at the beach in Tropical Storms to you all taking me to Linville where Charlie gave me the moon. You always made me feel like I was one of you're own kids and I know you thought of me as one too. As I have grown into a woman, you were always there when I needed advice or help with a problem that needed solving. I loved our 2 hour conversations, seemed we never ran out of things to talk about. Thank you for being a Best Friend to Mama. She loves you sooo much and will miss you terribly as we all will. Please give my Dad and Charlie a Big Hug and Kiss for me and tell them I love them and can't wait until the day that I see them again. Please know that I will always love you and miss you and will think about you every time I look at my wrist and a hot cup of coffee...LOL.
Now go my other mother and Rest In pain free Peace and enjoy all of Heaven's glorious beauty's
My Eternal Love Always,
Jenny aka " Biddy "

To Sam, Danny, Shelley and the rest of the Family: Please know my Loving thoughts and Prayers are with you as you go through this most difficult time and for the days ahead.
Thank You for Sharing your Mom with me.

Miz H was a dear friend to anyone who knew her...especially to me. She taught me so much when we worked together at CMS. Oh how I loved those cigarette breaks we would slip out and take during work...Can you believe we both quit smoking...I will see you again one day so we can have that lunch we have been talking about. Love and miss you..
