I would like to add, my grandparents, Martis and Althea'sister, Orie, were married September 9, 1939. September 9th was Althea's birthday. Now, Orie's sister, Althea, will be buried on Orie's birthday, May 1. What irony, and I doubt the circle will be unbroken.

I will miss this sweet woman, my great Aunt Althea. The times we had, the laughs, the birthday dinners of her mother, reunions, and the get "togethers" at my grandmother's (Orie...and in the day, a fish fry, then Billy Graham! Big deal back then for them!). Her sense of humor was so sweet, and funny. Words cannot express what a treasure she was in young life with my Uncle Lewis, and then the joy she found with George. Cousins, your Mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother gave such happiness to us all. I will miss her, can still hear her laugh, and will smile at such sweet memories that remain in my mind.
