Nana,
Lord only knows how much me, Chuck and the kids loved you. Having you living here with us for almost the past three years has Meant the world to Jessie. You were her best friend and she loved you so much. Even though you didn’t love sports you sat and watched those crazy football games with that girl. When I go to make coffee or when your boy fries an egg I think about you and how you loved his coffee and egg sandwiches. I’m so glad you were able to meet, hold and love your Heidi Bears baby (Sully)! We have lots of pictures and videos to show him. We will cherish these memories forever. We love you Nana!!

My deepest sympathy to the entire family…
Marie was by far the best alto singer I’ve ever known. I remember listening to her sing at church while I read the alto lines in the hymnals. I was always amazed at how she never sang what was written, but had the ability to create an entirely new line that harmonized perfectly.
People often said my dad couldn’t carry a tune in a bucket – but Marie had the one bucket he could hold a tune in. And I’m sure he was holding a spot beside him in Heaven’s choir, just waiting for his singing buddy and her bucket.
Grandma, I loved our time together. When we were little I remember waiting all day for you and grandpa Bud to come. I think about you every time I pass the Sikeston smokestacks. We will miss you. We love you, I’m sorry we can’t be there to celebrate your life with everyone. I know you’re dancing in heaven with Dad, Uncle Mike, and Uncle Danny. ❤️
Love you,
Leah
