Mr. Grant (Buddy), Lonzella, Fran, Darryl ,Tubby and Karen my prayers are with each of you now and always. Man there were some fun times with you guys! Grandma Jelly and Ms. Alice are laughing and running in heaven together now, no pain and no sickness. Gotta smile about that! I can hear Ms. Alice laughing right now as I type! One of my fondest memories was Ms. Alice trying to get Taléjah to eat some beets! Or me helping her paint the kitchen, too funny! Man that was funny! Not enough room to type all the fun memories! Those times give me comfort and I hope a flash of those times brings a smile for each of you. Love you guys much! Be blessed!

Billy Gene, Fran, Darryl, Lonzella, “Tubby”( that’s what Alice Jean always called you) Words cannot express the sorrow in my heart tonight. The pain of lost communcation is VERY real right now. Alice and I were very close when I lived in Columbia and worked at the VA together. We shared pain and joy watching you younger kids grow up together. But GOD is holding her in the palm of his hand now and there is no more pain, we just have to lean on HIM to get us thru this hard time. GOD bless each of you, I will keep you each in my prayers, please remember me in your too. Love Martha
