The Fernandina Beach High School Class of 1979 is sad to hear of our classmates passing. We will remember her at our class reunion every 5yrs when we come together. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Even though I never had the opportunity to meet you in person, I had the pleasure of many conversations with you. I am going to miss the stories you would share, the random messages, and reels you would send me. You made me smile, laugh and made me feel like part of your circle, I thank you for that. I know you will always be watching over the ones who meant most to you, your boys and grandbabies. To you I promise I will continue to fulfill your wish to me as best I can for as long as he allows me to do so.

I worked with Betty Ann and Sandy so long ago, both at the Five Jay's and Dorsey's. She was always so sweet and cheerful. People like her truly leave a hole when they leave us. Hugs and prayers to the family.

We go waaaay back to Dorsey's Restaurant. She was such a kind, sweet person. We spent many hous talking about the Lord and His sure coming in 1978. Well, of course He didn't come but we sure encouraged each other and she was so child like in he faith. She will always be rememberedi in my thoughts and prayers as a true gentle, loving and compassionate humn being. We didn't stay in touch as much as I'd like, only on Facebook becuase life just gets so busy, and I am sorry for that. I am looking forward to the day and I know it won't be long that I will see her again and we'll be able to take a walk by the river Jordan and catch up on all the years inbetween. I love you sweet Betty and I'll see you when I get home.....

If I leave here tomorrow, would you still remember me? For I must be traveling on now, cause there's too many places I've got to see. But if I stay here with you son(s), things just couldn't be the same. Cause I'm as free as a bird now, and this bird you cannot change. You were ready to fly and spread your wings, mom. You brought so much joy through your struggle with MS that it amazes me you stayed with us this far in our lives. I carry you with me everyday and i hear your words through the winds outside. I know your not resting, your running enjoying your new world, and I ain't mad at ya. I love you, C.J.
Matt your oldest son.
In Loving Memory of My Beautiful Mother... God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you, and He whispered "Come to Me" With tearful eyes we watched you fade away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard-working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, he chose to take the best. It's lonesome here without you we miss you more each day. Life doesn't seem the same since you have gone away. When days are sad and lonely and everything goes wrong, we seem to hear you whisper "Cheer Up and Carry On" Each time we see your picture you seem to smile and say, "Don't cry, I'm in God's hands, we'll meet again someday!" Love Matt
