Archie, Lonnie and Linda I am at the nursing home with momma right now and leaving in a few minutes. She just told me about your mom. We are both so sorry for your loss. She was quite a colorful lady.
A few months back we visited at lunch and I reminded her about on Halloween when she and momma dressed up and took us trick or treating. Of course they always took us to Fayetteville but they didn't usually dress up:)
I also reminded her of the time Anna was cooking beans in the pressure cooker and it blew up!!!!! She definitely remembered that. She said,"when I got home there were bean all over my kitchen!" She laughed and laughed!!
We had a good laugh!
I confessed too about the rooster we lynched and hung in the ditch by the creek. Haha. No secrets now!!
Archie thanks to you and your wife for visiting momma! She is always so happy to tell me when you come!!
Love to you all!!

So sorry for your loss! I loved visiting with Mary at the nursing home. She shared many stories. I will miss her!

May the family find comfort in loving memories, and in knowing that God is "close to those that are broken at heart; and he saves those who are crushed in spirit." (Psalm 34:18) Our loving Creator, Jehovah God, has promised to soon "swallow up death forever...and wipe the tears from all faces" (Isaiah 25:8). With deepest sympathy.
