I was saddened to hear of your loss. When we were kids I remember what a happy young man you were, Butch. Looking back as a mother grandma and greatgrand myself I know that our children reflect the love they receive at home...I know that your dear Mother gave you an abundence of love. She will always be with you in your heart and memory. You are in our prayers.

Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies… Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all. Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.' With much affection and my sincerest condolences. Mark

No matter how old we are, losing a Mother /GrandMother is one of the deepest sorrows a heart can know. But her goodness, her humor, her gift of gab, her caring and her wisdom lives on, like a legacy of love that will always be with all of Us. With deepest sympathy, and Love

To the Tatum family, Oh what wonderfull childhood memories I have of Aunt Helen and her family. Although we haven't spent time together in many years her warm smile and loving ways were never forgotten. I pray that God will watch over her children,grandchildren,neices,and nephews. Lord keep them safe, comfort them in thier time of loss and give them strengh to carry out the family traditions that they have become accustomed to. Rejoice in knowing that Aunt Helen will be joining a part of her family that she has dearly missed. And what a reunion that will be! God bless you all. Delieta Lynchdaughter of Freddie and Claydee
