Teresa & Family:
We were very saddened to hear of your Mom’s passing. We are so very sorry. Your mom was undoubtedly so proud of all of you, and your example of caring for her during these past few months speaks volumes about your love for her and each other. We will be remembering you all in prayer
Family,
We all grieve for the loss of a mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, but we should all be strengthened by her Legacy – all of us. Mammaw’s willingness to help anyone at anytime coupled with her undying love for Family made her a very special woman. We all share a little piece of her specialness, and we should all aspire to emulate her love for all! I already miss her deeply, but I will remember her, always.
I LOVE YOU GEORGIA YOU ARE THE BEST MOTHERINLAW THAT ANYONE COULD ASK FOR I AM GOING TO MISS YOU SO MUCH. YOUR SON DON.
Dear Hilda
I am sorry to hear of the lost of your mother. I know what your heart feels, I lost my mother four weeks ago and my heart is still broken. Hold on to the memories and smile about the life you have shared and cry for yourself. Don’t let her go away forever talk about her and remember the person she was. My pray is that God watches over you and your family unitl you meet again.
I only met her once, but I feel like I knew her because Cristy says she reminds her of my mother. I know Lawrence has great memories of her.
I am sincerely sorry for your loss.
I am so sorry for your loss. I will be praying for grace for the entire family.
Dear Sweet Evelyn, Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you during this sad time. It meant so much to me when you said that your Mom remembered our family. We love you. Please call if you need us for anything.
Hilda,
I met your mother a couple of years ago sitting on her front porch. She left an everlasting impression of which I think of ofter. She showed care, concerns, dislikes, compassion, her strong will to help and much, much more. She never held back sharing her emotions either. Especially if she believed the other party was at fault. She is and always will be special to all who had the pleasure meeting her and to you and your sisters for having been blessed having her as your Mother and best friend. Always in your heart and memories, now protecting and quiding you as your guardian angel above. May God give you strength and carry you through this time of sorrow. Forever in our hearts and prayers.

To my precious Aunt Vronda,
I am so sorry for the loss of your Mother. Her & papaw made a big impact on my life 20 yrs. ago. When Brandon was a little boy, he would say ‘I want to go see mamaw Riddle’ It has been a hard 8 mths., but you all took very good care of her.Even though you did not get to speak @ your Mothers funneral, she knew your heart, & has already given you a sign. Thank-You for being my prayer partner, & my sister in Christ. May God Bless you & the girls, for some day (my prayer is) we will all be in Heaven. For time is very short. I love all of you.

MY CHERISHED MEMORIES OF MY MOTHER for always being there for me & my children.For always teaching me to look for the good in people & to love & respect others. I remember oll the sacrifices that you made through the years, from unclogging the spring & fixing the pump, to hanging out clothes in the cold. In the last days the modesty that you had and the LOVE that you showed, even when your memory was failing, & calling ME MOTHER!!! I WILL ALWAYS MISS YOU. LOVE VRONDA
