I cannot even imagine the deep loss felt by Judith and Jessica and their families of their mother. I know as her friend, my grief is beyond words. So many times now I catch myself reaching for the phone to call her. If I needed help in any way, she was available for words of wisdom or swift actions. Mention "go" and you had a companion for a road trip. Our weekly luncheons were big social events no matter where. Vacations to Florida were full of memories and would not have been as enjoyable without Letty. She always knew the food to pack and little necessities needed whether Florida, Gulf Shores, or Lake Silvia. She had a knack for decorating inside and outside the house. Her talents were endless. She could be a nurse, chauffeur, a carpenter, etc.. I feel so fortunate to have known her for over 45 years. She was my mentor, my friend, my caregiver, my soul sister. Rest in peace, Letty. I love and miss you.

There are just no words to express the sorrow in my heart in losing our dear Letty. I am forever grateful for the lifetime of wonderful memories. I shall never forget the warmth of her smile, her beautiful spirit, and her gracious heart. Letty, you are so loved and you will be thought of so very often. May there always be eternal irises in the peaceful gardens where you walk.

You will be so missed Aunt Letty. I still remember our times gardening when you would come to visit Granny’s house when I was younger. I can still see your sweet smile and hear your laugh. I’ll forever cherish these memories than you and I had together.
