Larry & Gary and all the family - so sorry for your loss. It is difficult to lose our loved ones and especially our parents. Lots of fond memories at her house, going there on Sundays after church with Kathie and always feeling welcome there. I loved Jean. She was always the same - smiling and sweet - never any harsh words spoken. I can't wait to see her, my loved ones and all the Midway family in heaven soon! Love and prayers for all of you.

Praying for your family during this difficult time .
So sorry for the loss of my wonderful friend. We spent a lot of time together transporting birds to Little Rock, and became very good friends. I'll miss her so very much.. I know we all have to go the last mile of the way in this life, but it doesn't make it any easier to accept.
God bless this lovely lady. She always found time to see how some one else was doing. Her family is a shining example of who she was.
What a wonderful lady, several of us called her grandma, as a pet name. A part of our past from Midway. She will be dearly missed.
We are so sorry for your family's loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this difficult time. God Bless.
