I did not know your beautiful wife, mother, grandmother, or great-grandmother. I did know Sheila and Clay. Knowing them gave me a picture of a woman who knew her own mind, was extremely loving and caring, and had a wonderful sense of humor. Dear family, you are an extension of your mother and make her proud as you continue during these difficult times. Keep up the love and laughter in her memory and she will live through each one of you. What a blessing God gave you in the form of the woman you each love.
