Wanda, Chris, Chonda & Family -- What a beautiful picture of a beautiful lady. She was such a dear person and I loved being around her and enjoyed living next door to her. I can't imagine a better neighbor or a better friend. I have thought of her often and missed her so much since we moved away. She used to work in the yard and I'd work in the yard and we would stop and take breaks and sit and talk. I always looked forward to seeing her. She loved all of you so much. I'm so sorry to hear that she is gone, but I know she is in heaven. She was such a good person. My deepest sympathy to all of you.
