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 ~~~~~~
