Condolences & Memories (3 entries)

  • There are too many thoughts to put into words to write a tribute to my Gramma Mabel that would give anyone reading this a fraction of the influence she had on me. I loved her and looked up to her like a movie star. She was my best friend and I have fond memories of her life inviting me for sleepovers. We watched the movie Titanic together. She would make me her famous "flower porridge". We would go for drives to Walmart and she would be calling drivers "pukes" for pulling in front of her. She ran into her bathroom once because I dropped a shampoo bottle in the shower - so I was embarrassed and scared I did something wrong but she came in to make sure I didn't fall. She would always say "my love" to me and it made me feel so so loved. When I broke my arm she bought a doll that resembled me and sewed and hand made a cast similar to the one I had and gave it to me to make me feel better. Angels exist and she is one. I still have her cherry vanilla perfume she always wore and sometimes I will smell it randomly, usually times when I really need her. I wish so much now in my adult years I could sit around her circle table, have a cigarette, coffee and talk to her. She always had the strength to move on. I learned this from my daddy, which learned it from his mom- feeling sorry for yourself won't change anything. She taught me life skills. To always move forward with a smile. I am forever honored and grateful she was my Gramma. I will forever miss her presence but smile when she comes to visit me in spirit until we meet again. - Posted by: Kiera Henry (Granddaughter) on: Sep 01, 2025

  • Yesterday was the twentieth anniversary of her death. My Grandma Mabel has always been my most treasured human. She was such a precious person to many. I will always strive to be as good as she was with a pure heart and love guiding me. - Posted by: Colette (Granddaughter ) on: Jan 09, 2024

  • It has been many years since my Mom passed. I am amazed now that no one had written a tribute to her.. including me. Well now I will. Mom was both strong and gentle. She lived for her children and was a wonderful wife to all of her husbands. She doted on them. As she doted on us 3 kids. She has a hard life... growing up. Now I look back and realize why she was troubled. She married young.. and lived a life in the country alone as a city girl facing many hard ships and little money ..and yet she took such great care of us kids. She always strived to do the best she could for us in later life as well. She was an amazing women.. and I love her dearly and always will. She taught me a lot. God Bless You Mom.. I will always miss you.. but I know you send us pennies from Heaven! And only you could do that.. to say.. I am still here.. I am watching over you... Love you Mom so much.
