MaryBeth,Jimmie and families, You have had a tough year losing David and now Mom. You were so good to your parents. Lee and Delma never expected much in life, but I feel that they were rewarded with a loving family. Now your MaMa and Daddy are together again. The Junction Neighborhood is happy to have another friend there to join them at Heaven's Gate..God Bless

I'm so glad that I had the chance to call Delma my Aunt! She made the best fried chicken dinners on Sunday you could find! I never did met anyone in my life who was so positive. This lady didn't say a bad thing about anyone. Someone who didn't have even a tiny mean bone in her body. I love her with all my heart and will miss her a lot. To my cousins, I know it's been a long and hard road, just remember to look to the Lord and He will guide you.
