Glenda, 
I'm so sorry to hear about Vanis. She was always so kind to all of us. And boy could she put heart in those piano keys. She was a hard worker, and still participated with everything Valley View United Methodist had going on. From Bible school, making molasses, a yard sale fund raiser, to everyone's favorite Mac and cheese at homecoming one of Elijah's favorites. May she be whole and new in the sight of Jesus. Prayers for you and Carol Ann and all the Cloyd family and other families and friends. Godspeed Vanis tell our love one hi and we miss them and will see all of you soon.

Glenda , I'm so sorry to hear of Vanis passing. She was the best piano player and loved to hear her sing at the Little White Church known as Valley View! She will be missed dearly and loved by many!!!

Glinda and Family, It was such a pleasure to take care of Poppy in her final months. She was such a spitfire and i loved laying across her bed and talking to her about my family and her life. Thank you for blessing us with the oppurtunity to know her. She will be missed dearly.
