Mama there is so many sweet memories of you it's hard to just write one. But if I could remember the closest one to my heart it would be the one of the night I turned my life over to Jesus.  You was right there with me praying and when I received Jesus you shouted all over that church. Your testimony was how you prayed for me , for God to deliver me from my drinking and drugs and God would shake the very foundation I walked on and and he would show me the very pits of hell and the flames   touch the soles of my feet. Mama your prayers was answer and you was there to be a part of it. The lord called me to preach and I cherish the times you went with me to support me. Everywhere we went to ,they wanted to hear my mother sing and testify.You was a big part of my life and who I am today. Thank you mama for teaching me how to be a woman of God.

Sis Mary has always been a Great Inspiration  to me. One very Special memory  was a time our Granddaughter  Ashley was born , She was born with CF and also a big knot on her eye. Well one evening Service at Highway of Holiness  Church Sis Mary was passing by our pew one pew fro Her and Bro Coffman 's she immediately  turned back to me and ask if she could hold Ashley she wanted to Pray for Her She Sis Mary begging to weep in the Spirt as she and Bro Coffman  laid hands on her and Prayed. Time we got back to Guthrie we notice the knot was gone. Thank God for the8 Prayers no surgery  necessary.  Will Miss her and very June 28 I will remember  To wish Her a Hevenly Happy Birthday.  We share that Day. Hugs and Prayers for the Family

I know I haven’t got to see you for a while! But I’ll always cherish the memories i have with you. I remember when you worked with my momma at her restaurant,and how you would always make sure I had a slice of pie that you handmade waiting on me after school. I remember going and hearing you preach and sing your songs I’m going to miss you grandma but until we meet again I promise to take care of my momma your baby girl. ❤️❤️

One of my favorite memories is grandma and I going to a camp meeting out in the country that Aunt Francies was preaching at. I was maybe 8 or 9 and didnt know any of the other kids. Grandma was my bestfriend.. nothing new there lol I was the weird kid sculpting mud faces on the trees (it had rained a lot) while wearing a huge box I had cut arm holes in while grandma helped cooked lunch for camp. That night I got to stay up late with grandma and Aunt Francies. It started raining hard, grandma and I took out running for our tent and of course I had on the box, we slipped and fell in the mud and just laughed and laughed. Needless to say I couldn't get up due to the huge box haha. I have so many great memories with grandma and I. Shopping with grandma and my mom was one of my favorites.  I'm so grateful for her influence in my life. She took me to church, taught me about the Lord. She was a wonder example of a Godly woman. 

So very thankful for having  you as my Grandma. And for loving us so much and for always praying for us and teaching us to know and love the Lord. Peace be with you. I will never forget all the wonderful times being a kid at grandma's house and for teaching me to make your famous dressing and banana pudding. I love you always and miss you. I have peace in knowing we will all be together again in heaven.
