One day I walked into the kitchen and saw Jon, age 3, standing on a chair, wearing a red bathrobe and talking to the sky. That little red bathrobe had belong to Davey and when he died, Dave and I had put it up on the top shelf of the closet. I asked Jon why he was wearing that robe and he said that Davey told him to wear it. When I told Glenda the story, she said she totally believed that the angel of Davey in heaven was communicating with his little brother Jon here on earth. Glenda was a woman of great faith and she will be missed by all who knew her.

Mom was the kindest, most generous person I've ever known. She would give you her last dollar if you needed it & asked, even if it meant she had to go without!
She loved feeding everyone! When she would cook, she cooked enough for an army because she never wanted anyone to go away hungry.
If she knew you needed anything, she would go out of her way to find whatever was needed to give it to you; that's why she loved shopping at garage sales & thrift stores. It helped what little money she had help a larger number of people.
She was Mom to all who met her! Children were her life! She will be GREATLY missed!
