So many memories of my wonderful Aunt Novella over my lifetime that will continue to bring a smile to my face as long as I live: Vacations in Gatlinburg when I was little; Going to Goldrush Junction long before it became Dollywood; Dinners at the Peggy Ann; Picnics at the old home place in Lick Creek; Taking me and Tim to the carnival in Kingsport; Thanksgivings at her house; Vacating with the "Three Sisters" in Myrtle Beach; Telling Ghost stories and "The Big Toe" from Aunt "BOO"; Getting the families together at the Piccadilly and grilling burgers at Borden Park and on and on and on. So many memories of a lady that brought joy and happiness everytime she came around.
And now, the last member of the Grayton and May Owens family has been called home to "That Land That is Fairer Than Day" and that family circle is now complete and unbroken.
God bless the memory of my Aunt Novella and the love and happiness she brought to so many.
