    Mamaw, I miss you so much. I’m really going to miss all of our talks that we would have. I loved every minute that I spent with you. I guess because I had you for so long it’s just really hard to give you up. Thank you for teaching me so many things and for just being YOU!! I love you.

    Aunt Arva,
    We will miss you so much! Although we lived so far away, you made us feel so loved and so close, as if we were next door.
    Your goodness, kindness and love for God and His word always inspired us to do the right things in life. We always enjoyed coming to visit because we would have some good humor and interesting conversations.
    We look forward to seeing you in the next life to come! We all salute you for your enduring love and patience
