July 12, 2012 at 12:00 amHallie Gus will forever be remembered as a very loving and dear cousin. Her love for her family and cousins was genuine. I treasure the times I sat for hours and listened to the stories of her growing up with my dad and then when they all got married. She made me laugh and I hope I can share the fun in life that she had with my cousins. I will see you in heaven one day Ms. Hallie….with all my love, Teresa

July 21, 2012 at 12:00 amNana and her family touched my life in a way that others do not possess the ability to do. She was genuine, kind and loving and she passed these qualities to her children. I had the honor to know her and I thank God for this opportunity. She will ge greatly missed and fondly remembered. There are no words to express how she touched my heart. I am truly sorry for the pain her family and friends have to endure after her loss and pray that they may find comfort in knowing that God has his arms wrapped around her and that she is resting peacefully.
