  7. Dear Friends,My heart goes out to you at this sad time. I will keep you in my prayers and see you Wednesday.I love all of you,Dee

  8. I've been blessed to have known Miss Cora for just over ten years. I will miss her wit and humor. She always had a snappy come back, no matter what I had to say to her. I'm smiling as I write this. It's a bitter sweet smile. The tears will come later.

  9. I am so sorry for Uncle Dan's loss with Aunt Lee's passing but she is in a better place. My thoughts and prayers are with Cottrell Family as well as all of her numerous grandchildren.

  10. I didn't know her real name and I felt bad about it until I realized that when I met her and I asked what she wanted me to call her and that was " Granny". Such a special lady to want a stranger to call her simply "Granny"! I Love the love within this family. She is special and so are her girls.
