I loved visiting Aunt Gee in Tulsa and when she came down here to visit is. Every time I saw her she was laughing and smiling. I remember that every Thanksgiving she would make the most delicious desserts and would let me try them. She was very nice and joyful and I will miss her very much.

FREE AT LAST By John Douglas Francen I'm free at last My life has passed, I'm no longer In bondage to pain! I'm now with Him, My eternal friend. It's the beginning not the end and forever with Him I'll reign. In awe at heaven's beauty, Gently wrapped in God's love so pure, Ready to spend eternity In my Father's home secure. I sing a new song to Him As He sits upon His throne. I worship and adore my Lord And I'll never be alone.

My sister My friend my mentor. Mary glenda always led by example. Those examples were pretty extrodinary. There were 4 girls in our family we are very close in part because of my Mother and part just cause we really love and respect each other.
