I know you were so loved by your family and friends. I was happy to be a "fringe" family member and remember fondly the times we were together. Your sister, Jeanette, my aunt, is one of the best persons I have ever known and love her so much. I know she is going to miss you, but you will always be in her heart as you will be in the hearts of many. Rest with the Lord.

My prayers go out to the family. Your Mother was such a wonderful lady and I have many good memories growing up and spending time at the house with Elisa and Teresa and the family. I loved your Mom's laugh and the warmth of her sweet spirit. Peace to each of you during this time of grief.

Mrs. Westmoreland was a wonderful person who influenced my life while growing up in Groves. I think of all the times I spent at their home including many camping trips to Rayburn. She was our den mother when Mike and I were in scouts. Praying for the family during this difficult time.
