Our deepest sympathies to all of the family members. She looked so pretty when we visited in December. So was so happy to see Jennifer as always.We had a good visit as she shared stories of her life with Linda Sue and Pete in Arkansas and we laughed about their recent Deer Hunting Expeditions. She loved all children and her family. Christ be with you all! Love, Sissy, Jennifer & Kiberly.

All my love to a wonderful Nannie, who I will miss dearly. I have many fond memories that we shared, which I will forever treasure. I have always thought about and remembered my Nannie Dean and Parrain Red. Thank you for being such loving godparents. To Diane, Linda, Joe, Kenny, in-laws and grandchildren my deepest sympathy.
