Arneda was 1 of the most kind-hearted, loving & thoughtful ladies that I have ever known. She was a sweetheart & 1 of my Mother's Best Friends. She & Betty were a comfort & blessing to both my Mom & myself after my father had passed. We spent many times in their home & it was always a Blessing to visit with them. She had a wonderful laugh & loved to smile. I will always remember this fine Christian woman. It was no secret how much Betty loved & took care of Arneda. May God bless Betty & the rest of her family in this time of grief & loss.
When I was a little girl I remember Grandma (Arneda) made me a birthday cake with a doll in it. One of those that the doll skirt was cake and frosting. It was so pretty. What made it super special is that I often did not get birthday cakes because my birthday was often mixed in when thanksgiving...so a pumpkin pie was the usual! Thank you for going above for me Grandma! Anna
