So much love & so many memories!
From checking us out of Elem School in that big ol' custom Van to all the family birthday parties or going to the lake in Uncle Don's boat (even though it was both of y'alls boat we still let Uncle Don call it "his"). The mornings when I helped with Mamaw you always made sure to cook my favorite breakfast with Wright's Bacon! The drives out to England to clean the grave sites. The gag gifts on Christmas! The laughs we had over "Florence Ruby". All the stories you told me bout your trip to Cali. You & Uncle Don taking Jason & i to our very first Razorback game. Your beautiful Dining Room set you gave me, it's still my favorite piece of furniture. The swimming pool days AND even the days we worked filling in that pool. Cream Horns, candy bars & ice cream. Coca Cola cake, you always remembered NO NUTS just for me, thank you for always doing that! Your yummy lasagna. I will never forget how excited you were when I called to tell you I was gonna be a Mommy. So many loving sweet funny happy memories. You always made me feel so special & very loved. I will cherish these memories you've given me. I think everyone should have an Aunt Bea just like you! I love you so much! God Speed Aunt Bea for now your amongst Angels.
