Where do I start? I met you when you were 9 years old and I can still your face back then. We have always been a foursome you, me, Diana and Sandy. Now we have lost you we will be 3 but you will never leave our hearts. I feel like we have always been there for each other, went through a lot together, some great times, some bad times, but we helped each other through those. We were blessed to have the friendship we had. I feel blessed to have had you for my sister the last 47 years and that is something I will always cherish. I will miss you terribly and will until we meet again someday. Thank you for being my sister! I will always love you and never stop missing you! Love you like a sis' cause you are!

I can close my eyes & see your beautiful face, hear your laughter, see you dancing. I am so thankful for the many, many memories we've made & shared. You were a beautiful person not only on the outside, but inside as well. I've always admired your strength, your independence, courage & your wisdom.

I'll never forget the few memories I have of you. It was such a blessing when you contacted me when my Mama your Dad's baby sister passed away. We never got to grow up around each other and really had never been around each other as well. You let me know from that day on that you cared and that meant so much to me. I remember you, Kelly and Quinton visiting me at my home in Russellville that summer of 2006. When we went to find our Great Grandparents, Mammaw and Pappaw Hall's graves. I remember you all also making the trip when Denver my Uncle that helped raise me passed away. I'll always be grateful for the phone conversations we shared. I wish we could have had more visits and phone calls. The last time we spoke was 2 months ago and I never thought it would be our last. Thank you for being the wonderful person and cousin that you were and having the heart you had that was as big as the world. I know your in heaven and will always be watching over your loved ones. God bless your husband, children, grandchildren and siblings. You all will be in my prayers! Thank you for taking the time to get to know me. I love you and I will always miss you!

My deepest condolences |
June 19, 2018 |
My condolences, as feelings of pain and bitterness become unbearable. It is my desire to convey a comforting thought based on the Holy Scriptures
John 5:28 "Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out."
This passage speaks of the resurrection of our loved ones. It is not God's plan to see us suffer and die, so He extends the following invitation to us: "Come near to God and He will draw near to you" (James 4:8)
Please go to the following link to obtain more information regarding the Hope expressed in this passage and again we are sorry for your loss.
