Granny will always be remembered by me as
The head honcho of the clifford Lowe klan
" the hillbilly outback", she was so small
And fragile and yet she never had to raise
Her voice to get something done. She will
Be missed by many and thought of daly.
" granny, may your soul never die and live
With us forever". The polach up front..J.Z.

Death is difficult and I'm sorry for your loss.
Aunt Lizzie told me she first met Allen when my fraternal Grandfather brought him along to visit her family/parents who were living near Tazewell, TN. She had so many stories.
Aunt Eula Grey referred to her as the Iron Lady. A great lady, I will miss her.

My sister, Linda, was married to Hank, and is the mother of Michael Scott and Kerrie Lynn. My son Ted and I were frequent visitors to Grandma's house when he was little. Later, his daughter Zoie got to experience the wonders of the big back yard, the fantastic food, and the peanut butter fudge. I will miss Grandma Kesterson as much as I miss my own mom and mother in law. Ted, Zoie, and I all loved her dearly and will remember her always. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Kesterson clan. I pray that the pain of loss will soon be replaced by the memories of family and joyous times
