What to say about Aunt Effie..
She was a wonderful lady who was kind, warm and gentle. I will miss her so much and I’m sorry for missing these services. I know she is with my mother in heaven and we will see them again some day. I love you Aunt Effie . God Speed this healing for my family. AMEN!

My Grandma always called me her “queen bee” because I was the first grandchild. My earliest memory of her was when she and Grandpa came to visit when I was 5. They brought me a pretty dress and a Cinderella watch-which I still have. Her laugh was hearty, her heart was big and she was as ornery and stubborn as they come. On my wedding day she left the reception on the back of her boyfriends motorcycle with overnite bag! I was lucky to have her take care of my daughter her first year. Before she lost her memory my daughter and I stopped by to visit. We sat in her back yard and ate tomatoes and salt. Her cooking was amazing and her home always spotless. She was the strongest woman I’ve ever known and I will miss her terribly. I love you Grandma! PS-Thank you to Judy, Gary and family for taking such good care of her so we could have her a little longer. I am forever grateful-I love you!!
