Granddaddy, Rick, Casey, Lori and Jimmy, we are so saddened to learn of Grandmama's passing. She was such a wonderful Mother in law to me for 22 years and a loving grandmother to Casey and her children, Sierra and Jayden. Fond memories and her laughter will live on in our hearts forever and she will greatly be missed. Granddaddy, we love you and are thinking about you during this sad time. Please let us know if there is anything that we can do. God Bless.
