I have a ton of childhood memories! I used to babysit for my cousins Roderick, Pete and Little Richard! I could pretty much control them until Mary came home from work. As soon as she came through the door, all 3 of them turned into monsters. I was slit my eyes at them and say "oh, you just wait until tomorrow "! I miss her dearly! Rest In Peace cousin!
With deepest sympathy in the loss of your love one Mary.

I will miss you my friend and family, you are the only one that I would let keep calling me by my nickname after I got grown. Rest in Heaven!!!
When the matriarch of a family goes home to be with the Lord, it leaves a void only God can help you fill. Your mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, friend, and confidant left you with an undying love that I pray will bring your peace. God bless each of you. Joan Ziglar.
My heart was truly saddened when I heard my ole friend had passed. We meet in the 70's and were friends for years and I came to met her boys and sisters. I pray God will strengthen your family doing this time. Love and Prayers, Lois Kirby
