Dear Janet and Shelia and family, Just wanted you to know our thoughts and prayers are with you today. I have so many wonderful memories of all the times we spent together growing up--swimming, listening to music, riding bikes and horses, and singing around the piano. Your folks always made "Betty Faye and her bunch" feel welcome, even when we'd "drag in at midnight." When I think of the holidays spent at Warren, I always think of all the decorations Uncle Harry put up and the delicious pies and candies Aunt Velma cooked, especially that Martha Washington chocolate candy she made. Those were the best of times. We love and miss y'all. Please know your in our thoughts and prayers.

Some of the best memories of my childhood are from Aunt Velma's house. Swimming during the day with her big country supper in the evening. I still haven't found anybody on this earth that can make a coconut cream pie as good as she could. I love you guys. My prayers are with you all as you celebrate your Mother's homegoing. God bless you all.
