A beautiful woman with the kindest heart! Alma always came by to see my grandmother and would sit the whole day talking to her. As years went by she would come by Porter's to see Anthony, I can still see those big eyes and that big smiling face! Take your rest Alma Jean. Robert Mattox, Elberton

As Christmas gets closer I begin to realize that it is your first in heaven. It was not your time to go, but the angels took you anyway. I still ask myself why? Why did they have to take you? We weren't ready to say goodbye. I never got to say goodbye. We all miss you. Even though we had our differences I still loved you because you were my aunt. Family means everything to me. I just wish you were still here with us. I miss and love you so much~Anonymous Rest in peace Auntie Alma. You are truly loved and will truly be missed
