Thinking back over time.....Anna Mae and Jack were friends and partied together with my parents (Maude and Cecil Dykes) and I went to school with Big T and then later on in life I became friends with my then spouse Bob Whitelock and we continued the long time friendship. I would stop and see her sometimes. It hurt me so much and was so upset when she moved, because I knew how much your parents loved the land and house. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

She was my second mother also, and I love her with all of my heart. This world lost a loving person, but Heaven gained a strong angel. All my love goes to you in this heart breaking time. Love Lynne

Brenda, Jen, Margaret, Tammy, and Family,
Loving thoughts, prayers, peace, and God's blessings to all of you!!! I thank God for allowing me to to be part of all of your lives. When I think of your mom/grandmother, I think of all the times I spent at your house and enjoyed your mom's food and of course home made treats. I recall the times standing or sitting in the kitchen talking, laughing and eating those delicious treats with your mom/grandmother. Your mom/grandmother was like a second mom. It seems like I was at your house as much as my own. Your mom/grandmother or dad/grandfather shared with the rides to take Brenda and I to the Civic Center skating on Wednesday nights and to all the softball games with the Comets, Fruitland League, and with the James M. Bennett High School games. Margaret, I believe you shared with those rides to or from our events,too. Your mom/grandmother and all of your family have always had and always will hold,a special place in my heart.

Margaret, Brenda, Tammy and Families:
I think of your Mother often when I find myself riding by her house. Do you remember going clamming at South Point? That was too long ago. Deepest sympathy for your loss.
