Monticello, AR Thursday, June 10, 2010 To the family of "Sweet Mama".This Jewel was a woman of wisdom and stedfastness. Sweet Mama didn't mind telling you how she felt about things, she said what she meant and she meant what she said even though it may have hurt your feelings. She was Real. She always told me that the Bible said" to watch as well as pray, and baby watch come first," I will never forget that. It was a pleasure knowing her and listening to her words of wisdom. She lived the years God promised and some, what a blessing! We have have lost a treasure that knew her. Keep her memories alive.May God continually bless each of you.Love ,Sandra
