Some of the most precious memories that I hold dear in my heart of my little Mama was when I was small, elementary school age, watching her wash dishes and singing the religious songs that she loved so dearly – when I hear them sung in church, they bring tears of joy to my eyes. She was a tiny little thing – only 85 pounds when Jesus took her home – but was a fire-cracker; Brian says, “No, Maw-Maw was more like fire-works!” And, she was! We can laugh about it now! We already miss her ringing our phone late at night and her not realizing that she had called our number – late dementia/Alzheimer’s. It got to be a nuisance, yes, but then Brian or I would say that we were going to miss it when she is gone – and we do! Now she doesn’t have to have a telephone – she can just talk to Jesus face to face any time she gets ready – which brings another one of her favorite songs to mind – “Face to Face With Christ, My Savior”. Oh, what a pretty lady she was and she is even more beautiful – NOW!

Precious Shirley, thank you for your sweet comments! Oh, yes – there are many fond memories of the times we all spent together in those wonderful years of the ’60’s! Hope we can get together again this side of heaven real soon. Take care and my love to you and Bobby – Shelia ‘Kaye’

Thanks, Paula, for your sweet comments and encouragement. Yes, I can hear Mother singing “Whispering Hope”, too. We would have had it played or sung, but we didn’t have room in the service for it. Elvis sang “How Great Thou Art” – Memorial Park, graciously played it from a CD they had on file, 2nd best to you, of course! Our Associate Pastor, Bro. Jon Medlock officiated and sang “Sweet Beulah Land”, as he always does so well and with very little effort. Janice wanted “Just A Closer Walk With Thee” since Mother sang that often, too. Memorial Park also had that one. The service was so very sweet. Oh, yes, Mother is finally at peace in the loving arms of our precious Lord and Savior – waiting for her little girls to arrive at heaven’s gate! Can’t wait to see her waiting to embrace me with a big smile on her face like I have never seen before! Aunt Doris and Aunt Evelyn will get their embrace probably before we do – they are going to miss her until that time comes. I long for that day when we will all be in heaven together in sweet fellowship . . . that will never come to an end! Hope we can get together more often this side of heaven. Missed having you here and the rest of Mother’s immediate family, but I know each of you were thinking of us and praying for us; your prayers were felt – the peace, comfort and presence of God was so very real to us in a mighty way. I love you, too – Shelia ‘Kaye’

My sweet Janice & Sheila, I will forever remember your mother and can still hear her singing “Whispering Hope”, she so loved that song. I know she is finally at peace with the Lord and with herself. Mother and Evelyn will have that big hole in their hearts for a long time, but someday we will all be together in God’s home. God bless you and always remember you still have a family that loves you here in this world.So sorry we couldn’t be there with you, but I will say a little prayer for you at service time & know that we are there in spirit.Love you both,Paula
