Monticello, AR Wednesday, August 18, 2021 I am going to miss my sweet neighbor-that lived down the street. The wave as I drove by- the quick chats if you were close to the street or when you were walking over to your aunt Peggy’s. I will miss seeing all the things you were doing to your home, that you were so proud of. My only regret was not taking time to know you better. You left this life way too soon; but we know you are ok. Your legacy will remain though; and I know your tribe- sons, family and friends will hold on to that. Prayers for all!Denise Adams
