It’s so hard to say something new about grandma; because she was the same sweet lady to everyone she met. Three things come to mind. One; she never missed a birthday. There was only time I didn’t get a card on my birthday (or the day before, if my birthday was on a Sunday) and that year she called me to tell me, I had one on the way. She was unable to get out due to the weather. That shouldn’t count against her since she was in her 90’s. Second; you were always guaranteed to hear 2 things from her every time you talked to her (or in your birthday card). She was going to let us know she loved us and she was proud of us. I should add that Papa did this too until the day he went home. Third; I really appreciate the legacy of love that Grandma leaves behind. Grandma and Papa’s marriage is one that anyone would be lucky to model theirs after. I’m sure it was less perfect than the image I have in my head, but for over 60 years these two devoted their lives to each other and their children and grandchildren. There never seemed to be a question of your job or my job. Whatever needed to be done was done. They were a team…no wonder three of their kids are coaches. Grandma was the sweetest woman I have ever met and I will miss her.
I have not in 44, almost 45 years found anyone who had anything negative to say about Grandma! What a wonderful testament to a truly great lady! I cannot find the words to say how amazing I think she was. At 95, she was still cooking for other people and continued to do so until it was physically impossible for her. She NEVER quit giving. She didn't believe that there was a time/age at which a person should "retire" from serving God. I feel honored to have been a part of her life and to be an heir to the legacy that she left for us.
Tippy, Patty, Sue, Bill, Sam you all know how sorry I am about the death of your mother and that I know exactly how you feel. It is as though the fabric of your life has been ripped, but each card of condolence and kind word from a friend is a stitch that helps repair the rip. Our mothers were the stabilizers of our lives and it is hard to move on without them but their legacy is their positive influence and examples that live on in their children and the people their lives touched. We are so blessed to have had such wonderful parents.
Patty and Tippy, Gary and I want you to know how much we love and care about you and know that this is an extremely hard time for you both. Even though I did not know your mother very well, I had the honor of visiting with her on two occasions while in Lamesa with my team who was just about to compete against her daughter. Those visits were very special to me and I will always remember her for being so genuine, classy and kind to me. Our thoughts and prayers are with you both.
Patty snd Tippy, I was so sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. She was an incredible lady...she had to be..you both are amazing women. You have impacted my life in such a positive way, and I thank you for that. You and your family are in my prayers during this difficult journey. Asking God's love and strength for you all.Sincerely,Greta Miers
Patty and Tippy, I was so saddened to hear that you lost your sweet mother. I will be praying that you will feel the love and peace of the Father as you both remember the beautiful memories with your mom. Please know that I hold you both so fondly in my heart. You had such a tremendous positive impact on me which I am sure was a direct result of your sweet mother. May God bless you both during this difficult time.Much love-Allyson Orson Bakken
Naveta was a kind caring lady. I know there is an emptiness without her here, but heavens a lot sweeter now because she's there.
