My sweet baby sister . You have had such an amazing consequential life. Your legacy will encourage and inspire from your Christian life and your unending love for the church and our Lord Jesus Christ. I am so thankful for the last days we had to spend together, pray together and in some way try to ease you. Our prayers were for healing and then not suffering. None understand the infinite wisdom of our God but continue to trust him daily...I think we call it faith and we cling to that in our journey to heaven to be with Him Daddy Momma and Lyndia and all our loved ones. I miss you and I love you. Cyndi

Wally, my heart hurt for you and the loss of your soul mate. Martha Ann was one of the purest Christian lady I ever had the honor of being around. Girls remember all the good times and your mother’s strong faith. Keep MiMis memory alive for her littles! She loved each of you very much.
