""mom" as she was called by her grandchildren, will be missed. She was my last living grandparent. I have fond memories of her especially when we all lived in Missouri. My dad (Bobby) loved her very much. As I see it, she was a very independent woman doing things her way, even years ago when it was not something women did. She will be missed.

"I did not know that you were gone, Mom. I am so sorry that no one told me. I cannot believe that my address and telephone number was not available as many times as I have visited and corresponded, especially in the last 5 years. I love you and will always miss you....Debbye
