    What great memories I have of Donnie and Sunday school at Tyner UMC. She and Mavis and Fannie were faithful to their call as teachers. They had their hands full. I think there were 10 or 12 of us every Sunday. We were about 10 years old, I guess. I wish I knew then, what I know now, about the love of Christ. I may have been a better student for her. She can be credited for helping lay the foundation of faith for many of us. I will pray for all of you as you say good bye to her. Well done , Donnie, good and faithful servant!

    We are so sorry for your loss. We have to admit we are also a little jealous that she will be seeing Mom and Dad in heaven who we miss every day but keep all the good memories in our heart. Donnie brought many pleasant memories to our family – Mom and Dad always talked about all the good times they had with Bud and Donnie. We know Bud will miss his partner and best friend of more than 65 years. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Bud and his family. May God keep those good memories close to your hearts and help you heal through this time of loss.
