Today March 23, 2011 I have found out my good friend (LaWanda has passed away. I have not seen her in 12 years since her son David was buried. I had not been in Trumann since then. I have been thinking about going and looking up LaWanda when I came across her death notice. LaWanda was a very special person. One,I never forgot. I am sadden that life has went by so fast that, I missed seeing her smiling face. My heart goes out to her family. I know in my heart that God has now, one of the most precious angels in heaven. LaWanda will be missed by many people. Although she passed away in Oct.2010. For me, she passed away today. God bless,Alisa Fowler

I shall miss my church seat mate so much. I set by her last Wednesday night and know it is hard to believe she has gone on to meet the Lord. I hope she saw Mom and Dad there and told them I am still trying to make it to meet them again. I loved her and C.M. for many years and will always have fond memories of her. The family is in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless you all. Rest in peace Bootsie until we meet again.
