Thank you so much for letting me know about your Mom. I have only good memories of sitting in her kitchen learning from her how to freeze veggies & shell pecans, while you entertained/babysat our Rachel. May the memories fill your hearts in the quiet times that inevitably come. My dear Daddy went home to be with the Lord the day before Thanksgiving. It's very hard to get through the quiet times, I know. But God gives us the memories we need to smile,& even laugh at times. I will be praying for you. Love, Nana Salisbury

I have good memories of your mom's kind and thoughtful ways. Actually one of my favorite early childhood memories is getting to be the flower girl at your mom and dad's wedding. Your mom made me feel special that night and I loved the little bracelet she gave me. My thoughts and prayers will continue to be with you all. Sending my love, Lenelle Stevenson Crowell

Dear Family, So many wonderful memories. My first is when your mom was being courted by your dad and she would stay with Dad, Mom and me when she visited. I would tell her "I'll be right back lady!" She was a wonderful person with a true heart to please The Lord. Our love to you all. Your cousin, Robin Stevenson Dennert

Dear Heather and Rob,
I wish I could be there with you two now. Your Mom and Dad meant so much to us. Your mom was a super woman in the kitchen. She could make a huge meal in such a short time every meal. We always felt like kings when we visited your home. Your dad's humor couldn't be beat and your mom's hospitality was beyond measure. I have noticed you both carry on their endearing qualities. Our hearts go out to you and pray you will be comforted. Frank Houtz
