Mrs. Shalz was the best! you would never go by her house & see an empty Counter,Cabinet,or fridge! She always fed you & you always left full. When I get to Heaven she will be the first person I look for because I'm sure I'll be hungry!& I'm sure she'll have food.

Dee will be missed. I remember when my grandmother would watch me, I would always go to see if Dee was sitting on her stairs in front of her house. I would go and sit with her and she would give me ice cream cups and Country Time Lemonade.

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. Our deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.
