Notes:

Carmen Tim Holguin told this story on 8 November 2011: We have been married for 37 years, and I am happy to say that we have always had an awesome marriage. Tim had been praying for a Christian wife for 7 yrs, when we finally met, I was not a born again believer, but my sister in-law Cindy prayed for my salvation and eventually I became a believer, at which time the Lord literally told my husband, that I was to be his wife. To make a long story short, we have strived to live in relationship to God, so that we can know how to properly love each other.

We want to thank you, for giving us Mary belle's tel #, we had not had long distance for a long period of time, so we were unable to call her. She didn't seem to know that she was talking to her son Tim, the only one she seemed to mention and remember well, was her oldest son, Ben Val. At any rate we shall continue to stay in touch with her. We would love to talk to you in person sometime, if you don't mind, our telephone # is (509)233-0229, if you send us yours maybe we can catch up to each other sometime, and we can really get to know each other better. We are glad that you enjoy our grandchildren, we are terribly proud of them, and love them immensely.

Val,
1. what were the final arrangements for your mother? It was put on facebook that there was going to be a Memorial service for mom on May 15th,2012 at Unity Baptist Church in Georgetown, Ms. Of which took place. Does she have a headstone?My sister and I picked one out ordered it online and it is on its way there now. At the time we had a temporary cross to place at her grave.. She had asked me the last time we talked about where she wanted to put her ashes she told me by my dad.
~~~~~~
Cyndi's response to Paul:I miss my talks with Mary Belle very much. Mom mentioned you called several times when I came to see her and I believe she looked forward to talking to you too Paul. Yes that was a very sweet present Val gave to mom. She loved to keep in contact with everyone. I tried to see her at least 3 times a week but called her the days I couldn't go. She was satisfied when I called her just as long as she could hear from one of us. Towards the end she wasn't remembering much at all though. She would confuse my daughter with me. I miss her too but know she is safe with the Lord.
Also Happy Memorial Day to you and I really appreciate all the service men and women who have put their lives on the line for our freedom. Living outside my beloved country for 25 years helps one to see this country even with its problems is blessed.
your cousin Paul
