Fort Smith, AR Sunday, January 27, 2013 We will cherish memories of you for years to come. There are so many Aunt Mutt-isms and phrases we use in our everyday life, because we love you and think you're awesome. You sure could make us laugh, often times at your own expense, but you could laugh at yourself with us. We will sing I'll Fly Away with joy and love in our hearts for you. I know you are rejoicing with our Lord and all our family and friends. I love you. Love, your great-niece Meredith, great-great nephew Parker, and great-great niece Genevieve
