We used to come to your house and she would be cooking and I would alway's ask her what she was cooking and sometimes I would get a chair and watch her.I really loved to watch her fry chicken,I still fry it like she showed me,everyone loves her fried chicken. She is an Angel for real in Heaven. I am sure she and my sis are singing for God and watching over us.Please take strength in knowing She is watching over you and those you love.If you need Me for anything I am here.I love you all.

You should know that " all of you hold a special place in my heart, as we spent so much time together growing up. Of course, as time goes on we grow apart, but that doesn't take away all the fond memories of our childhood days. I was telling Debbie how I remember Gurty teaching me in Sunday School and how the Spirit would move upon her as she sang. I know you will have a hard time in the coming days, but know that each of you are in our prayers. I love all of you and if there is anything I can do, please let me know, Jimmy Jimmy Day - November 21, 2011 at 04:54 PM
