I remember when I went to Arkansas as a baby and I walked up to the Christ of the Ozarks 

Aunt Wanda was my first Big sister. I was her  real live baby doll to play with when I was born. She stayed with My Mother; her sister;(Viola)  to help her with her first child .Aunt Wanda was just 12 years old in Jan.&  I was born in Feb.

She was always FUN to be with and a laugh a minute. Some of her looks she would give in conversation were side splitting. 

When all the sister would gather at Mom's house and I would go over too.  I was the designated driver  to go pickup grab bags. And then let the fun began.

 This would look good on you!! .....one would say.
No that's not my color..the other would say.
Here look at this blouse ....Ithink it will fit you Wanda.
Hey Olie Here's on for you.......
Kat let me see that when your done with it.....
Mucy what you think of this ?  will it fit Misty?

By the time all the Grab Bags were gone thru it was time for 
lunch.  On theMenu for those days was  the following:
Brown Beans
Corn Bread
Corn on the cob
Sliced tomatoes from Aunt Mucy's garden
Fried Potatoes
Fresh green Onions from Mom's   back yard garden
And an Assortment of pies &  cookies

There was always a occasion to meet  & eat at either one of the Sisters' homes'. IT WAS USUALLY FOR "just because"

They enjoyed every minute they were together.

They had Love for one another.

Now they are all in Heaven  with a pot of beans on the stove waiting for us all to get there.

Wanda always made me feel special when I was blessed to 'cross her path' as she acted so happy to see me.  Then she'd share whatever craft project captured her attention at the time.   I don't recall seeing her without a baseball cap... though I'm sure I must have at some point.   My heart goes out to Lawrence and the rest of the family.   You're wished a peaceful and loving healing process from this great loss. 

Underneath all the sweetness and love hid something unknown to man, hid a legend foretold by some,  and a skill feared by many. The fastest gun in the West, the legends were..true. This was a great picture, a funny and loving memory, thank you grandma, I love you. Rest peacefully. 

When my Mother (Kathleen Cox)Passed away Wanda was really there for me. She made the worst thing in life a little easier to deal with.
