Very very Sad to loose you.
You were like a second mom to me; however, I know Herman was waiting on you with the "perfect, soft, houseshoes" to adorn your feet. He worshiped you and loved you with all his heart. You saw this every time you were around each of you. I know you are happy to be together once more for eternity. Probably teaching everyone in heaven how to bowl the proper way:) Love & Miss you both

MaeBelle and Herman lived across the street from my family (the Roses) for 50 years. Plus we attended Geyer Springs Church of Christ together for years. MaeBelle was more than a neighbor - she and Herman were family. Both my brother and I worked at Dillard's in high school thanks to MaeBelle. She hosted wedding showers for both of us, helped me dress on my wedding day, showed me how to use makeup and nail polish, encouraged me with sewing, comforted me in the loss of aunts and uncles, grandparents and my mother. Precious lady to me. She will be in my heart forever.
