Love You and gonna Miss You
Reminiscing on the good memories. I will love and miss you always.
I remember asking Mammaw Jo to show me how to walk in heels. We broke the shoes out and walked up and down the living room for hours. That is probably my favorite memory with her! She will forever be in my heart! I love you.

Sad to hear about Jo…was just thinking of her earlier this week. Seems so long since we saw her…..know she is at peace and dancing in the stars with her husband that she lost way too long ago…and my Mom and Dad……they are all pain free and enjoying their new home..Will see you on Saturday. Love, Susan (Dewey)
Was sorry to hear about your mom. My dad who passed away at the age of 59 was Bland Church and I have always had such fond memories of Reusing and the wonderful people who worked there.
Dear Sharon and Barry,
Sadden to hear about the loss of your Mother. She was the perfect example of a ‘true lady’. She was always kind, caring with a beautiful smile and sweet laugh. May all the good memories of your Mom and Dad comfort you during your time of grief.

Barry, I was so sad to hear of your mother’s passing. I had her on my mind a couple of weeks ago. I didn’t know she had passed until Saturday. If I had known I would have been at the service. I love you guys and some of my fondest memories are from working with you all at Reusing’s. Love and prayers, Penny
