“My Deepest Sympathies to my Uncle Butch and my cousins Larry, Shane and Amy. aunt Sue was a sweet lady and I will always remember her and what a great cook she was. I still have a few recipes of hers that she passed to my mom and they were passed to me that I made every holiday. She will be missed very much. I always loved when we would message on Facebook. You are all in my thoughts and prayers! Love Always, Michelle (Tiny)”
