My husband's
mother. I always called her "Mommie" I loved her very much
and we had a very special relationship. We spent a lot of time
together and shared lots of secrets. :)
She looked forward
to when my husband got paid every other Friday because we would
always take her out to eat. I would go pick her up every Friday
morning and she would spend the day with me. I would fix her hair
each week and when she needed one I would put a perm in for her. We
would go shopping sometimes if there was something she needed and we
took her grocery shopping with us when she wanted to go.
I always loved to
watch her sit and crochet. She could talk, watch TV or just about
anything she wanted to do and never miss a stitch on whatever she
happened to be making. I knew a little about crochet, but she taught
me more and sometimes we would crochet together.
She loved plants
and flowers and had many. We spent many hours working in the flower
beds at her house and mine. We walked in the yards a lot and just
talked while we enjoyed looking at all the beautiful flowers.
She loved to go to
Burger King and get a Whaler (fish sandwich). Sometimes we would
take her to a town about 35 miles from us to a place to eat that she
also liked going to. The Sizzler was a place she wanted to go to a
lot too.
I have missed her
very much and she is another one of those very special people that I
am very much looking forward to seeing and hugging again one day.

Millie, my
husband's oldest sister, one of the sweetest and most loving
and giving people I have ever known. I miss her very much.
From the
day the two of us met she called me "Sis". She
always made me feel very special to her. We never lived
close enough to each other that we got to visit often but we
wrote letters and made phone calls, lots of them over the
years.
Millie was
like a mother to my husband's son from his first marriage.
She took care of him like he was her own off and on over the
years that they all lived in Kansas. My husband was a single
father working in the oil fields and he will be quick to
tell you he would never had made it without the help of his
loving sister.
Never have
I ever heard Millie say anything bad about anyone and she
was always ready with a compliment for everyone she came in
contact with. She was a happy up-beat person that enjoyed
living and her life.
She was a
family person, loved her sons and the rest of her family
very much. She and her younger sister spent a lot of time
together the last two or so years sweet Millie was still
here with us and they did a lot of special
"sister" things.
I am glad
that she moved back to Arkansas so we could all be together
for her last few years. We all miss her very much.
