    We are so sorry for your loss. I have so many happy memories of this wonderful lady. Everytime we came back to Trumann we would go see her. I have shared memories with my kids about growing up around her. She made the best potatoe salad and I loved to hear her play piano and sing. She told me she remembered when I was little and told her my mom wanted to borrow a cup of sugar and she watched me take the sugar and make mud pies on the front porch of course she told mom I never did that again. I loved your mom very much and I pray for you all as you go through this I remember what it was like when I lost my mom. Keep your head up and always remember her laugh and smile she is a very special lady. God BlessTabby & Mort
