Hetchie was always such a joker. There was never a dull moment in the house when she was around. Her spirit will live on in our family!

Hetchie Brown...I will always cherish the memories we had with you while you lived in Amarillo. I don't think I will ever see a shawl and not think of you, It didn't seem right if you didn't have one wrapped around your shoulders...love and kisses

Grand Grand we just want to say that we love and miss you. I will never forget the time you took me to visit my dad for the summer. I was blown away that you drove I guess it was because I never seen you drive before. I will have to admit i was a bit skeptical at first but i knew you would never let anything happen to me your laugh was the best I ever knew and your smile lit up a room . Enjoy the place god has made for you and I will be loking forward to the time when I can join you. Love, Robert.

A Place To Rest God looked down on your body, So tired from hanging on, From a life that was overwelming you, And he wanted back his one. So he took away the air that you breathe, And gave you what was best, A place to be at peace, A final place to rest. I love you Granny!!!!! May you rest in peace!!!!!!
