Aunt Sissy always told me the story of when i was born. How she had run down the hallways screaming that there was two babies born. It's twins she was hollering. I loved my Aunt Sissy so much. I'm glad I got to spend several days with her. We had a good time playing cards and drinking coffee.

I have only ever known her as "Sissy" & have fond memories of her coming to visit us whenever she would accompany her mom to Houston for Dr appointments. My mom & her were like sisters instead of cousins so it was only fitting that even after I was grown with my own children she would still come to my moms house for visits & my mom , Sissy, my sister Marsha & myself would get in the kitchen floor & play jacks! We had the best time & the best visits doing that. I hate that time gets away from us & we all seem to go separate ways & lose touch but her daughter Debby found me on fb several years & then met me in Beaumont for a short visit a few years ago. I hate that we didn't have more of those visits. She will be greatly missed by all who knew & loved her. May you rest peacefully in heaven with all those you love so dearly who went before you! I love you Sissy! 💕💕
