Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. Granny Britt was full of life until her very last days. Gary and I remember tagging along to family functions as teenagers where Granny Britt would feed us and treat us like her own. You could always find her with that big smile on her face (Earnest has it now ;-). She was truly an inspiration-and I pray that I will be as active at 91!! We are thinking of you all and praying that you will find peace in the wonderful memories of her.

  2. Lois, was such a wonderful, kind and beautiful lady. So very special. A lot of special memories of her. My prayers are with the family now as they move ahead in the coming days. Heaven gained an amazing angel when they got Lois.

  3. Ernest and Ricky and family, so sorry to hear about your mom. Becky was talking to her aunt this afternoon and learned about your moms passing. We are very sorry about this. Becky always talks about the good times when she and David were growing up. Becky will call David as he lives in Raleigh NC. You all are in our thoughts and prayers.
