My family was fortunate enough to live next door to Sue and J.L. from 1964 to 1968. Needless to say, they became like family to us, and we’ve never lost touch over all these years. Thank you for sharing this beautiful tribute to a wonderful woman that has always been dear to my heart. Your description of her snapping beans really hit home. My sister and I went by our old house Saturday afternoon and as we walked past Sue and J.L.’s old house we reminisced, “Remember sitting on that porch, snapping beans?”

What a sweet surprise to see the picture of Uncle Red! Wasn’t he handsome. You had wonderful grandparents, and their influence lives in you in ways you probably cannot imagine. Your Aunt Sue looks so much like your grandmother. The older I get, the more I miss all of our relatives who are gone from this place. Thanks for the precious memories.

I fondly remember your Aunt Sue and her visits to SC. She looks so much like you grandmom that it brought tears to my eyes. You have wonderful grandparents and you keep them alive in our hearts by sharing your thoughts and memories. I love you.

What a wonderful tribute to an amazing woman! Great peanut butter pie recipe, too. My mother’s side of the family is from the south and I love their recipes, so many of which involve Cool Whip.

I always knew you had writing talent! I now know why. You have heart! And lots of it… PS I see a resemblance in the eyes, which of course is a euphemism for heart, but also a truism. GREG

Love these pictures! And I think it’s awesome that she’s smiling. Seems like all pictures from that generation are always so serious, and add to the black and white nature, it made them look so unfriendly. I have some shots like this of extended family, albeit small, and they’re such keepsakes.
