Aunt Earline was a one of kind aunt. She had a beautiful smile to go with those pretty eyes. She could always make you laugh no matter the situation. The memory I hold dearest is when I had my oldest daughter. She was the first voice I heard when I woke &##imported-begin##Lisa Barthelemy##imported-end##

We lived on the same street as Mrs. Bradley and she was such a funny person. She was very humerous and would always make you laugh. We remember many good times as she sat out in her garage on neighborhood watch and tried to keep us in check at all times##imported-begin##Mike & Sandra Lakey##imported-end##
