I have to tell you about MeMe as we called her. I was happy to say i knew this sweet lady about 50 years and grew close to her in the last 10. She was something else. She had been so spoiled by her husband Buddy then when he passed the girls took over. I lived with her a period of time and she was so sweet to me. If you said you were going somewhere by the time you got ready to go she was sitting there ready to go too. Lol. In later years she had an accident and was in a wheelchair. She would hollow Hey as loud as she could and you better go running or she would hollow again. By the time you got in there she was wanting to know where you had been even tho it had just been a minute or two. She loved to dress nicely and her granddaughter Tonya always made sure she had stylish clothes up until her death. She was so loved and will be so missed. I had come to love her just like she was my Mother. I am going to miss her so much. Prayers for the family as they go thru this difficult time but just know she has plenty on ppl taking care of and spoiling her now since you job is done. Love y'all.
Deepest sympathy for the lost of your mother. Her smile and sweet face will me missed. May memories comfort you now and in the days to come.
