So I went to the funeral yesterday and It was by far the weridest funeral I have ever been too.. not a bad werid though… It was more like a celebration of Lettye’s life.. witch to me was pretty awesome. There was alot of laughing instead of crying. There was 4 people who got saved.. def. a 1st for me.. never seen anyone get saved at a funeral. The pastor said this is what Lettye wanted … she didnt want her family crying because she was gone but crying because she is painless now and is home and going to be with the lord! and remembering all the good times we had with her and be thank-ful we had her in the first place.. witch im grateful for her being apart of my life. I think my favorite part of the whole ceremony was the bag player … played amazing grace as we walked up to the grave side.. it was beautiful. It was truely a beautiful thing to see everyone Celebrating her life and not morning her death! She will be missed.

Will be dearly missed
LETTYE JANE THOMPSON went to be with the lord on Friday July 13th, 2007
Born on July 15th,1936 at 71 years old she had lived a full life. Filled with nothing but love. She was a sweet lady . As long as I’ve known her she was always smiling
She loved being around her family… Although she wasnt my Mommom thats what she told me to call her when i was little.. She is my cousin Denise’s mommom . Every summer Denise would come stay the summer with us and when she got her own house I would go and stay the summers with her.. it was then I got to really know Mommom and get close to her. She was always soft spoken. Never seen her mad or get upset about anything. It has been an honor and blessing to know and be apart of her family.
She has gone to be with the lord, her husband and son Daniel.
You will be missed dearly and will be remembered as the little lady who always had a smile on her face and loved her family very much.

And Susan Michelle July 7th.. I hope you had the best 16th birthday.. I really cant believe you are 16.. when i met you , you were 10 about to turn 11.. I’ll never forget the day I met you.. your mom was in the hospital giving birth to Elias and you stay with your Aunt Christina.. I had heard alot of storys about how sweet and loving you were from your uncle Mike. You made me a Angel out of beads and To this day I still have it in my jewlery box.. It isnt in the best of shape and needs to be fixed a little but i still have it. You are an awesome and very talented girl. I hope all your dreams come true.. you deserve the very best in life..

On this day last year My step-father passed away
He was a great person.. It’s really upsetting to me because I knew him since i was 3 and didnt really like him growing up.. I always thought he was this mean , blunt man.. but as i got older.. I realized he wasnt mean all those years , i was just a child and he wasnt there to be my friend or to let me get away with being a little brat. I was about 16 when I started getting closer with Smitty. I realized we had alot in common.. like softball.. we both loved ball and chocolate pudding, and decorating the christmas tree . and lots of other things . He taught me alot in the last few years .. how to cook scrapple without burning it or it fallin apart lol , veggie soup and lots of other goodies. He was still very blunt person .. but that wasnt always a bad way to be and actually im alot like him in many different ways. He was always there for me no matter what I did or didnt do , other than him the only other person there for me was my mom. He didnt let the things I did when I was a teen make him think any defferently of me or stop him from helping out when I needed it .
I am really thankful for all the things he taught me over the 20 years and everything he did for me and my family. He was really close to Kamryn and it really saddens me that he isnt here anymore for her. but I am thankful that she got 3 years to have him in her life.
I really miss having him around making jokes , and getting those funny birthday cards , and all the good food he used to cook and having someone to talk to knowing they would give you a honest answer even if it meant he was going to say something you didnt want to hear , and seeing the way he would light up when Kamryn would walk in the room. I havent seen anyone light up like that when my kids walk in the room.. well except my mom.
You will never be forgotten Smitty! We love and miss you very much! RIP!
