There are many many memories of Kelli, Amanda and Brandon when they were young living in Arlington. I too lived in Arlington for a while. On the weekends I would pick them up for the day and do fun things such as go to the movies, out to eat or go ride the Tram at DFW Airport. One movie they all kept asking to see was " E.T." I think we must have seen that movie so many times, till we all remembered every line in the movie. But we all liked the Ending. When I moved to Corsicana, they would come down to spend the weekend. I talked them in to helping me decorate the house for Christmas and also the local Pioneer Village one year. One year, we made Elf Candy Canes to give away to people when they would come by the house at night to see the Christmas Lights. I have had people tell me they remember when they did that many years ago.
I always loved to buy the kids School clothes and Especially Kelli. She was so beautiful and so easy to dress her up with clothes from Beale's here in Corsicana. You were so good about checking on your Grandma when she would get ill. And always remembered her birthday. You were so kind and loving. I write this with tears in my eyes, as I am so sad you are gone, but know you are heaven with your Grandma. Love your Aunt, Ann
