Our hearts are heavy tonight as we think of all of you and pray for God's strength and encouragement in all your lives. We were truly blessed to have known Bana for the short time we did and will miss her. We are thankful that we will see her again one day and she is with our Lord. Blessings to all. Gary and Pandra

It's impossible to put into words how much my Mamaw meant to me. From the many meals she cooked for me (biscuits and gravy :o) ) to the many stories, jokes, and just good times we have had together. She is truly a blessing of God Almighty, and I will miss her...for a moment. Because I know but I know that I will see her again one day in Heaven! I love you Mamaw!

mamas teaching angels how to sing! Dottie Rambo wrote that song and she went on to be with the Lord before my mom, now they are both teaching angels how to sing. I will see you again my precious mom. I love you.
