  1. Sherrie,
    I’m so very sorry for your loss, your mom and dad were so good to me when we were kids and I know she will be dearly missed. Please give your dad and Keith my regards as you go through these next days and months. I’m physically unable to be with you today but you are in my prayers.

    1. Sorry for your loss…even though I got to visit with many of my dear friends from our past. Estil, Sherrie, and Keith. Prayers to continue…😥💞

  2. Estil, I’m sorry we can’t be with you today. Vida and I were such good friends through elementary school. She was my best friend and Ed and I are so sorry for your loss. We are keeping you in our prayers.

    We Love You All So Much!! Many Prayers! Sis Donna, Dave and Brian

  5. I loved this lady! She was my second mom to me! She made sure Keith and Sherrie and I had fun adventures at their house, after we did chores! She always had good snacks. There were always nabs, oatmeal cakes and twinkies in her dishwasher (she never used it) “hidden” from us. We used her glass Christmas balls for earrings when we played dressup. Broke dozens. We finally told her when we were grown. She welcomed me for several weeks every summer, after they moved to Kenova. I love my May family and Im sad knowing she is no longer here! Rest High In The Mountain Mom!

    1. Thanks for sharing these special memories!! She loved you like one of her own. Many prayers as we face a very hard day tomorrow. Love and miss you!!
