My condolences to all of you. Rejoice at this time as you come together for this sad event that she is in heaven still watching over you and proud that you are working together for this last event of her life. Remember the good times you had together and share laughter.

So many wonderful memories. She drove the large station wagon and I am not sure it was for caring so many Stewart kids around or the massive groceries she had to carry home when going to the store to feed everyone. The first time I spent the night with Claudia I especially remember her cooking bacon in a broiler pan because a iron skellet like my mother used was too small. I loved to play “dress up” at your house because your mother had a box of frilly things for us to play with. If I was at your house on Sunday morning it was understood everyone would be going to church.

Your mother will always remain a gracious strong lady with a distentive southern voice and charm. My mother charisted her friendship whether it was driving together to city hall to speak out for local issues or friendly visits. Your mother will live on in our hearts with the Century memories we grew up with that give us the strong character we need as we become the next generation.

May God bless you now and always,
Malinda
