Tributes & Memories
Becky: Words just cannot express the sorrow I feel in my heart for you and your family from the loss of your sweet mother. She was such a loving, giving, compassion filled lady. One look at her and you knew just how kind and gentle she was. The last time I saw her was at Charlotte's Permanent Solution, several years ago, getting her hair done. When I walked in I heard a familiar voice and then that familiar voice began saying my name and with such joy and gladness I knew she was truly glad to see me. And the feeling was mutual. What a special spirit. I know she will be missed tremendously here on earth. But what a reunion must be happening in Heaven. I consider it such a blessing to have even known your mom and I'll treasure my memories of her. I love and appreciate you Beck and I'm always here if you need me. May our Heavenly Father console and protect your tender heart at this most difficult time. Love, Debbie Rosson

"A light from our household is gone A voice we loved is stilled A place is vacant in our hearts Which never can be filled." Warm summer sun, shine kindly here; Warm southern wind, blow softly here; Green sod above, lie light, lie light- Good-night, dear heart, good-night, good-night.

Our family has been blessed to share a back fence with the Ganns for almost 30 years. They were both truly special people and we miss them both.

Rebecca, you and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers. Even though Hunter and I don't see you very often any more, you will always hold a special place in our hearts. As did both your parents. Hunter loved going to "Ms. Rebecca's" house. Especially when your mom and dad were over. They both touch many people's lives, as do you. May you rest easy knowing your mom is at peace now. Love, Dawna and Hunter Jacob
