I remember her always smiling, with a twinkle in her eye. And always making sure you felt loved she and Cleo came to Ames for dinner once, and I tried out a new cornbread recipe. It was horrible! But she said, Its not that bad, really, and Cleo, dont you want more? We all broke out in laughter. Such fond memories. Im delighted shes with Cleo and Jesus and all the Brooks peeps. What a joyous occasion that is. May the Lord bless you all with peace, grace, and abundant comfort.
