Gary and Family, Regardless of age, health, or any other condition we are never ready to give up our loved ones, particularly our Mothers. The only comfort at this times comes from a real Faith in the Sovereignty of God and the concern manifested by caring friends. Please know we are thinking of you and your family at this time. Zunita and Joe Clark
Ninnie,
What can I say??? There are no amount of words that will ever be able to tell how much you meant to me, and to others. You were a loving and devoted mother, wife, gradmother, and friend. I will always carry with me all of the memorys and moments that we shared together. You are very special to me and I know that you are looking down on me from heaven, standing right next to papaw and ‘Ebee.’ Ninnie, I love you so much and I will never forget you because you will always be in my heart. You were a beautiful person that lived a very righteous life, worth telling everyone about. I know that you met God on Saturday and I know that he hugged you and told you what a great job that you had done here on earth. The angels in Heaven are glad to have you there, but we will always miss you here on earth. I love you Ninnie, I will always keep you in my memories, and may you rest in peace always.
Carrie, my sister…I only have loving, fond memories of you. You taught me how to subtract when I was little…you were always so kind and careing….one of the last things you told me was, ‘honey, we’re the only ones left of Daddy’s children. I love you.’ …I love you too and I will miss you.
Our most sincere sympathy….Frankie and I have been best friends since we were children.
She always spoke of her sister with love and respect.
Carrie and Edwin and the rest of the family are a large part of my teenage memories and I appreciate that. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Carrie, you reached up your hand and Jesus reached down His….you and Daddy both met Jesus on the same date…May 10th! Please tell Daddy hello for me, along with Granny Stiles, Granny Brown, Ebee and Charlie and Ed……Remember the table we took apart at the ‘old house’ and put in the back of the car for you to take home to use as your bedside table? That little table will always be special in my mind. I hope it served it’s purpose well for you and I’m glad I could be of help in your getting it. I can see you smiling now….I love you
Other Nannie, For a long time I was the only grandchild and even after Jill was born she didn’t liking staying overnight anywhere she said it made her heart hurt! I guess it isn’t fair that I have almost 30 years of memories but the ones I remember the most are those when I was a kid. I remember going to South Carolina with you and granddaddy when I was little to visit Marie. I can remember going riding on the parkway with Granddaddy, Fred, Louise, and you and singing ‘You are my sunshine’. You taught me to make biscuits, and how to make my bed even though you wouldn’t know it now. I can remember sitting in the basement with Ebbie and you canning beans and I would try to help. (probably more trouble than anything) Although you said the only time you spanked me was for running through the clothes racks at Davis’. ( I probably deserved it more times than that!) You let me stay with you every Saturday night and we would watch the Love Boat and Fantasy Island until I thought I was to old to spend the night with my grandparents anymore. It makes me feel better to know that your standing with the lord along side Granddaddy, and Ebbie. I will love you and remember all those memories.
You are my sunshine
Love always,
Angie
