Dear Jeff and family,
May God’s perfect peace and compassion help bring you comfort at this time. Your mother was and still is a darling woman. She was always kind to me whenever I would be around that old homestead near Pleasant View school. Her legacy is the kindness each of you show to others. Thats a great legacy to leave.
Don & Cheryl Heriford and family

One of the fun things I’ll remember about Aunt Tootie was that she wore the most elegant & fun slippers I’d ever seen – the ones with small heels & big fuzzy balls on the top. She let me try to walk in them when I was about 9 or 10. I wasn’t very successful, but she never laughed at me, just gave me tips on how to keep them on. RIP, and love to you all.

Kris
