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

Linda Gail Peters daugher of Lowell Kane "Bud" Peters
Some information about my Dad. He was an avid hunter and fisherman. He loved the outdoors and loved people. He loved animals as well. He had a few horses from time to time.
He had his private pilot license when he was younger. He was married and divorced twice. My mom was his first wife. He did not have any children with his second wife. He lived with us when he became ill with Alzheimer. He fought a great battle for about 7 years. He is now in an Alzheimer facility in Hattiesburg Mississippi in the latter stage..
~~~~~~
Deborah Peters Harris tells about her and her dad, Alvin Wayne Peters, visited her Uncle Lowell Kane "Bud" Peters October 2010:
Yes, we had a good visit with Bud. When we came in you could tell he was trying to place who we were. He kept looking at me and looking at Dad (Wayne) and I didn't think he really made the connection - until we went to leave. He had a lot of trouble trying to form sentences but we talked with him anyway, and as we were leaving Dad leaned down close to him, with his hand on his shoulder, and said: I love you. Bud looked up at him and said: "I love you too." I guess it just goes to show that love never fades. Best Wishes! Deb.

She was a published composer in Christian music publications, and most recently had a compilation of her music available for sale under the title "Smooth Piano." Fran is survived by her three children, Joha, Jonathan and Jerusha Turner, all of Pittsburg, and their father, John Turner, also of Pittsburg; two brothers, Steve Fletcher of Houston, Texas, and John C. Fletcher of Kosciusko, Miss.; three sisters, Grace Fletcher of Kosciusko, Miss., Sharon Boyd of Friday Harbor, Wash., and Susan Gibbons of Houston, Texas; and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.

There will be no calling hours. A funeral service will be conducted on Saturday, March 19 at 11 a.m. at the Monadnock Congregational Church in Colebrook, with The Rev.

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.

Stephanie Ann peters harris told me thes 8/30/2010
It was funny - I set Stephanie and her husband Doss up on a "blind date." I told Stephanie where to meet him and to "dress up." Her father and his parents were to meet them too. I was working and running a little behind schedule and when I showed up - there was Stephanie in overall's and a Winnie the Pooh jacket and her hair in a pony tail. I couldn't believe it. But something clicked - they were married in no time! Doss is 6'9" tall and she is pretty short and they quite a couple.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PLEASE put in your report that Garland Doss Parker is NOT my husband anymore. You keep asking me about my husband.
I am not married I don't care about using him as my son's father. Thank you.
