Beulah always known as Boo to me was a good neighbor to my parents. I missed them terribly after they moved. It just wasn't the same when Norman wasn't out there reading or doing crosswords. Boo always had a smile for everyone and loved to share stories about her grandkids with me. I am sorry for your loss and know she will be missed bye those who loved her.

Holding all of your family in thought and prayer. Your momma was such a sweet and feisty lady and there are many fond memories of conversations with her; she is missed! May you all feel the loving and sustaining arms of Christ about you as they carry you through this difficult time and sustain you until you are reunited with her again.
