I remember mom and my self going to the Haltree store in Marshall to buy her a dress, I believe Johns wedding. She looked at several dresses but just did not like them. I found a dress that was a plum color and got her to try it on. She fell in love with it. I found shoes to match but she still needed earrings which I found also. She bought the whole outfit and found out she spent $ 40 dollars on the earrings. We laughed so hard and she said "I have never bought $ 40 dollar earrings, oh well I am today, I deserve it" then we went to Win Schuyler's for lunch. Mom and I laughed often about those earrings. Mom had a wonderful sense of humor. I miss her love, sincere eyes, her support, her smile and laugh. I will always remember our special bond and the love we shared. I love and miss you mom.

Aunt Ginny was my idol. Such a great person. She made all the preparations for my wedding in 1966 which took place here in Jackson as I lived in North Carolina at the time. She never forgot Bud or my birthday and ALWAYS had a smile on her lovely face. I love het like a mother!

I'll never forget the first time I met Gramma. Mike and I were on our first date , we were going to Ann Arbor and said we had to make a quick stop before we left town . Little did I know we were going to his Grammas. We walk up to the door and I met her and Mike leaves immediately to go to the bathroom [ which was a trick he didn't really have to go to the bathroom]. Gramma and I sat and talked and talked and although I was freaking out she made me feel so welcomed !

A sweet sweet lady!
