Dear Max & Krista. I was sorry to hear about your Mom but, so thankful that she came to see me a couple of weeks ago. It was a nice surprise to see her and all the stuff we talked and laughed about. I will always remember that visit and when I do I know I will be smiling. She was an absolutely wonderful friend and cousin. Love to all of you. We are here if you need us.
Max and Krista, Carolyn and I send condolences and prayers. Brenda loved you so much. So many memories of Max and her fully supporting you in all activities. May God bless and keep you….
So sorry for your loss! I was able to see her at matches where she went to cheer for her granddaughter. Always came to watch Max play Baseball!
Dear Max, Krista and family,
“Newsome” as we all called her in school was one of the first people I met when I started High School in Ahoskie. She became on of my close friends throughout those years and remained so even though I no longer lived in the area. Seeing her at our recent 50th. HS anniversary meant so much to all of us in attendance.
May you be blessed with peace during this time left on earth until you meet her once again!
Our prayers are with you.
So sad for your loss…sweet woman and heck of a cheerleader ❤️
So sorry for your loss…mighty sweet woman and heck of a cheerleader ❤️
Krista & Max – I think it definitely shows how much your mom was loved that so many refer to her as their best friend & I’m one of them. While there are many things I could share with you of so many wonderful memories, I want to share a couple of things from the last 2 months. Every since your mom was put on a new medication that evidently was like a miracle drug, she was back to the person she was 5 years ago. She told me one day that when she went for a drs appointment, she told them they weren’t seeing the lady they saw the last time – they were seeing the lady she was 5 years ago. What a blessing that she spent these last few months feeling & living the life she had with her beloved Truman. She also told me she hated she couldn’t help folks like she had in the past but I assured her that she was still helping folks because she was the one person I could really talk to about my mom after her passing. Newsome (as I always called her) called me at least once a week after my mom passed away to see how I was but to talk about her & me & she was my rock so yes, she was still helping folks. I loved her dearly & I know how much you loved her & she loved you. That’s the kind of love one is very fortunate to have & not all ever experience – she will live in our hearts forever. Love to both of you & let those wonderful memories stay with you always.❤️ Peanut❤️
So sorry to hear of your loss. Your Momma was.a.very special lady loved by many. She was a dear friend to my Mom and was good to my Mom. She will truly be missed. May the peace of God that surpasses all understanding bring you comfort and peace and strength during this difficult time. God bless each of you.
Max and Krista, I am so very sorry for your family’s loss. Your mom used to cut my hair when I was a teenager and I remember you two as young children. Your mom was such a sweet lady and I always enjoyed going to see her. Prayers for comfort and strength.
Sending condolences and prayers to all.
