Auntie Mabel was amazing. Always smiling, always positive and always praying. She was an excellent role model and manifest Christ in a mighty way. Just being in her presence was comforting and uplifting. I'm going to miss Auntie Mabel and her beautiful gracious approach to life. I know she is dancing up a storm with uncle Dan!!! Deepest condolences during this time of great loss.

The best compliment I ever got in my life was when Ma told me that I was a lot like her because I didnt like confrontation. It was the nicest thing she could have ever said to me. I hold that deep in my heart. Both her and Daddy were there for me whenever I needed them which was often. One time she was too sick and tired in the hospital from a heart attack and a gall bladder operation, when she didnt think she could take care of me as I needed her to, she apologized years later for being sick and tired thinking she had disappointed me but Daddy was always there to take up the discarded responsibility. She was the most conscientious woman I ever knew and I really appreciated that lesson because she taught me what love is. I told her that I understood that she was sick at the time and I wish I had told her that nothing could stop me from loving her and her gentle ways although I did tell her I thought she was a good woman as often as I thought she needed to hear it. Its true that a person will go back to the ways they were taught when they were young and I will forever be grateful to Ma for teaching me that there is something better then what I saw on the other side of life. Decency, honor, integrity, love and respect were just a few of the things she taught by example. I dont know where Id be now if not for the love and care that her and daddy gave me from the goodness of their hearts. Im grateful to God for both of them.
