There are so many precious memories but my most treasures is how she taught me how to harmonize. After church we would go back to her house along with Daniel Scott and sometimes Melissa when she could and after we had lunch we would work on learning new songs for our singing group we had.
And she along with our group gave me my first surprise birthday party. .
She was loved deeply.

Tonya thank you for posting her gravesite stone. I was recently in Indiana and could not find her grave. The weeds were really bad and covered it up. I was at the service so I knew where to look. My sister looked up this site and saw a picture you had posted of it. We found it right away.
Thank you
