I will always remember Mrs. Sluder. I grew up on Edgewood Road and she was our neighbor. She always gave us ice cream and we loved it!
Mrs. Sluder has been a good neighbor for many years and she will be missed.
Aunt Mary was special. I enjoyed going to visit with her and Uncle Champ. She went on a trip to Memphis with us several years ago and we had a ball. She couldn’t wait to get back home though. She got kinda somesick. Wish I had visited her more the past few years. Sure am glad to hear that she went ‘HOME’ peacefully and is now joined with her family.
Aunt Mary was a ‘Special’ Aunt. I am so thankful that God let her pass on in a peaceful way. She is rejoicing now with family members who have already gone.
