I love you mom and will always have you in my heart.
Aunt Fannie led a long and fulfilled life. Even though I don’t live close, she was always in my thoughts. Carol, I know you were very close to your mom and her loss will be permanent, but when you feel overwhelmed just remember all the years of wonder times you had with her and smile.

I have known Fannie since I was a child when she came to Galveston to live with my mother and dad.. Leo and Dorothy Kell… and babysit my brother and me. When I was growing up we used to visit with her and Leroy but over the years we went our separate ways. Fannie was always I sweet lady and I will miss her. So God bless you Carol and family 🙏.
