Momma, there is nothing that I can say on how beautiful of a person you are!!! I have way too many amazing memories with you and the love I have for you is unexplainable.You will be so missed mommy I love you so much!!! This all still feels like a horrible dream…I don’t know what to do, I don’t know what to think, and I am completely lost without you.I’m gonna miss the late night greetings when I came in from work, or the numerous times you got mad because I would pour a full cup of coffee and never drink it all…what I would do to be able to hear your voice again or atleast to hear I love you one more time…….I love you so much mommy and I’ll never let Mayson forget you or your ‘Legacy’ R.I.H. beautiful Angel..and I’ll see you later and think about you every second of everyday
Midge, I will always remember the time when you all ( Aunt Mac and Shorty and Jeannie) drove down to our house in Virginia in the camper. We were talking to truckers on the CB radio and Poppy (Uncle Warren) came out and caught me and made me come in the house!! What fun we had!!! We met at the ‘Old Home Place’ and went camping somewhere around there too when we were kids. Listening and telling ghost stories!! I remember coming to ya’lls house too. I wish we could have stayed in touch but everyone grows up and has their own families and raises them. I wish you could have been well enough to come to the reunion as I would love to have seen you sweetie!!! I will always remember you sweet cousin and the good times we had as children!! Now your in heaven with all of our family that have passed on!! We have one more sweet Angel now Midge!!! I will always love you!!!

Midge and I worked together at the Mooresville DQ for many years. She was such a hard worker but knew how to make work fun. I looked up to her as a friend and mentor during those years. You will be remembered fondly Midge. So sorry to Art, Anthony, and the rest of the family for your loss.
I have so many memories of my friend midge,,so so many. I loved her with all my heart. I just cannot believe she is gone. We used to drive her new Camero up to Indianapolis in the 70’s, we were so cool, 2 teenage girls from the country, cruising the big city. We had an apartment together in 1980..we went to Chicago the Christmas of 1980,,had a wonderful, memorable time. We went to Metamora Indiana a lot..I was a bridesmaid in her wedding to art..we were pregnant at the same time in 1987…I will miss my friend so very much..I always thought that she would be there..I took that for granted and I will never forgive myself for that.
Don’t regret anything she loved you becki and so do we
