Mom, I miss you so. How I wish to say "I love you just one more time" Are you worshing at the feet of Jesus or are you in a peaceful sleep just waiting for the coming of the Lord? So many questions, but assured you are under the protection of Jesus no matter what the answer. We will see you one day. If you are already in heaven say "hell-o" to grandmother. Love Teresa

Almost a month has passed and it still feels like yesterday that you left us Nanny Boo. What a blessing from God you were to us all, while here on this earth. I am so blessed for the many memories you and I shared together. I know you are in heaven walking with many angels and the day will come, when we will all get to be together again. I so look forward to that day. Until then I carry your heart in my heart and all the memories I will cherish. Love you and will never forget you.

Sallie was such a wonderful lady. I only knew her a short period of time but we just seem to hit it off(maybe it was because our first names are the same). I enjoyed talking to her about so many things. She had a loving christian spirit and I was blessed to know her.

Sallie will be greatly missed. She was a good neighbor to my mother and sister, and so very thoughtful, never forgetting to send birthday and other cards to Durley Busby in a nursing home in Florida for the past 13 years. I always enjoyed talking with her on the phone and visiting her when I was in West Memphis. How will I keep up with family news now??? Heaven has gained a beautiful soul.
