We will miss you. Thank you for the wonderful childhood memories at the horse arena. I’m sure you have already found the horse stables and are giving all the kids a ride around the rink in heaven. Rest in peace dear cousin.
Betty Ann, one of my fondest childhood memories is of going to visit Grandpa and Grammy Davis on a Sunday afternoon with Mommy and Daddy. I can remember Grandpa handing me the hard candy container and me taking one. I would then grab one of Grammy’s molasses cookies or sugar donuts from the glass cookie jar on the counter and run out the door. I was off to Aunt Margaret and Uncle Howard’s house across the way in search of you. If you were not there I would swing on the swing between the two big tall trees waiting for you to return. You would take me out back to feed the chickens and we would collect the eggs. All the way I would be hinting to you that a horse ride would be what I really would want. So many times you gave me that horse ride leading me around the rink over and over again. I eventually graduated to the piece of wood with the wheels on it and you would attach it to the horses, we would stand on it and you would get the horses to go faster and faster (most of the time you made me sit down). We laughed and squealed with delight until the horse would come to an abrupt stop and we would be tossed off, all the way laughing! Over the last several months I have met many of your and George’s friends, they have now become my friends. You have had so many caring people looking out for you, truly genuine friends. May you know that you will be missed but you have left treasured memories for me to remember you always. Rest in peace dear cousin, it’s time for you to find some little kid in heaven to take horseback riding…. Love, Cousin Lisa, Jim and Austin.
We are very sorry for your loss.
