Kristin, Jannan and Hal I loved your mother so much even though I didn't get to see her very often. Our prayers and thoughts go out to you all. I will always love her and remember her as one of the most important people in my life. She taught me so much love,
courage, and strength through out the years. Her kindness, her smile, and love for other people will never be forgotten. She will be missed. Love Velma White

Janan, I just saw in the obituaries of my hometown newspaper, The Johnson County Graphic, that your mom had passed away. I am so sorry to hear that and you and your family will be in my prayers. I didn't remember that she was from Lamar but you had probably told me that at one time. Nora Hampton Sams

My earliest memories of your mom was of a very happy, outgoing person. I will remember her as such, and as a very generous person toward her family.
May your memories bring comfort to all of you. -- Roseanna (Sid's youngest)

Your family has been such an important part of our lives since Lauren and Kristin met as 3 year olds in day care and as we have watched both the girls and Charles grow up. Few families would have the strength to endure all that you have had to endure over the past years but no greater tribute could stand for your mother then the strength and love she instilled in all of you and each of you, Janan, Kristin and Hal. The success of your families and your children live on as a testament to the kind of parents you had and the values you learned. Know she is at peace and all of the earthly ills and problems from which she suffered are now all gone. Today would have been Jimmy's mothers 89th birthday. Two special ladies are now together.
