I have a lifetime of memories to share about my Big ... I spent most of my life with her. However my fondest memory of my grandmother is how she would always recite the 23rd Psalm to me whenever I had an issue or desired something in life. I remember most how she would sit up until the wee hours of the morning reading her bible. Her devotion to her family and God were undeniable. I feel so blessed that God put this woman in my life, had it not been for her who knows what would have become of my brothers and I. But because of her unwavering loving hand we are all the people I know she aspired for us to be. Big we love you so much. I remember all those Saturdays of shopping in Fort Worth. I remember how you would take us to the park... READ MORE →

I have lots of great memories of the Grandma I called, Big!!! Growing-up, Big was the matriarch and the heart as soul of the family. She gave all her love, advice, help and protection to her family and friends. She was strong, loyal and had a caring heart as big as all outdoors.

I remember when I was a little boy and my mom planned a surprise birthday party for Big and all the kids had a role. My job was to be the waiter, sit by the front door and yell when Big got home from work. I remember I had this white linen kitchen towel draped over my forearm like a real waiter. When she drove up to the porch, I met Big at her car and opened the door, and escorted my Grandma into the house arm-in-arm. She was surprised and happy!! I could see this tiny... READ MORE →
