    I’m so glad I had your momma as my neighbor, when I first moved here I was lost, but she made me feel like I had been in this house forever. Really going to miss looking out my kitchen window and seeing her on porch or setting with her and listening to all her stories. She is greatly loved and missed.

    Judy, Gene and Stanley- I am so sorry for your loss. Your Mom was one of the nicest people I knew. She was such a hard worker. I admired her and respected her.
    I am sorry we couldn’t attend the services but Fred has ALS, Lou Gehrig’s disease, and is confined to bed and the wheelchair.
    You all are in my thoughts.

    I have known Pansy since I was little, she was married to my great uncle Wade Spears, she will be missed by everybody. I remember getting so excited when she would come over to my grandparents house (Odell and Della Spears) for the holidays because she would allow me to sit in her lap while she was telling me stories about her and uncle Wade. It was an honor to have my first daughter on her birthday in 2008! She will be missed my so many.
