My grandma was one of the best people anyone could ever hope to meet. She was a good listener when needed. She loved all her family and wanted all of us to visit whenever we could. She loved her trips with her daughters and the family reunions that were held. These pictures are some from a few of her trips and a reunion in the past few years. There are so many pictures that there would never be enough room to see her wonderful life with her friends and family.
Grandma touched all of our lives in the best way anyone could imagine. I will never forget her and hope that the rest of my family feels the same as I do. I love you Grandma and I hope that you are at peace and with Granddaddy. Your Granddaughter, Daphne Lynn.
