Donna,
Your mom was a treasure and a very dear friend. Our years at Smithton Baptist hold fond memories for my family. I remember her stepping up as our babysitter in our time of need providing loving care to Lyndsey while only spoiling her a “little bit”. When he was so sick I remember your dad tell Brother Ben “I’ll see you down the road, but now it will be paved in gold”. What a blessing to know your parents are now walking together down that very road. Love and prayers to your family.

Grandma Faye ! Thank you for taking me in as your great grand daughter along with my sisters. Thank you for the blessings and the lessons! Thanks for never making me feel left out and always feeling safe with you. I remember when my parents got married and my sisters and I stayed with you for their honeymoon. My 10th bday was in a few days so you and Aunt Donna took me on a shopping spree. You all let me model them and it felt amazing. You all ALWAYS made me feel sooo special. I now show the same love and acceptance to everyone I meet. Thank you for sharing your family with me.

Hug Gpa Chaz for me please.
Rest Peacefully
