Now I know where Jackson got his name. My Bigmama what everything to me and if I had had a little boy I would have named him Tucker after her. Sherry, treasure all the memories.
She was such a wonderful woman. I personally know so very many people whose lives she touched and helped shape forever. I will always love her and the entire family.

My favorite memory of Granny is seeing her sitting on the deck in Maine and enjoying the view of the ocean. We will all miss her.

Keeping you in thought & prayer at this most difficult time.
Love always, Cindy
It still doesn’t seem that you’re gone… I find myself wanting to talk to you every day. I miss you Mama… I don’t think life will ever be the same.
It’s been a year now… and it feels both incredibly distant, and as if it just happened.
I miss you Mama. You were my muse, my confidant, and my best friend.
Life will not be the same without you.
I lived behind the family as a child. Either Vickie was at my house or I was at hers. I remember how Chris was always smiling, laughing, and watching HeeHaw in her chair! She always acted interested in whatever I had going on and would take time to talk to me when I came over. I remember the kitchen table, always fresh, delicious and homemade food on it and a cohesive family around it. Often I was privileged to be a part of it. She was kind to me. I unfortunately lost track of the family in my teens. I read she lived in Winder, which is about 20 minutes from me. I wish I had known she was there; I could’ve seen her again. I just found out that she passed away although it’s been quite a while. My heart and prayers go out to the family. She is an incredible loss, and will leave a hole in the heart of anyone who ever knew her.
