In Loving Memory of Lessie B. Kenny

Lessie,

You were so special to all of us.
To those of us who were shy you made us laugh, open up and talk.
To those of us who were a little stuck up, you helped us to realize we weren't that doggone important...
To those of us who laughed too much, you made us laugh even harder.
To those of us who thought we were so smart - your jokes let us know that you were somewhat smarter!
Your attitude about life and family helped us all to take a second look and embrace life and family a little tighter and some burdens got a little lighter. You had such a way about you that we will cherish in our hearts forever.

We miss you today and always...

Rest In Peace Lessie B.

Daddy, you are forever in our hearts.

We thank God for your example, your teaching and training and unconditional love for your children,

grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren, sons-and-daughters-in-law, nieces, nephews, cousins, friends, play-children, the community, the less-fortunate, the sick and shut-in, your mother and sister - -  your commitment to Christ and His Church, and the list goes on, and on, and on.......... -yes, now you're in eternity with Christ... we will see you on the other side.

For the Holy Bible says:

2 Corinthians 5:8 (NIV) "We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord."

In Memory of Jefferson Bolden

"Day is done, gone the sun, from the lake, from the hills, from the sky! All is well! Safely rest..... God is nigh!"

Rest in peace Daddy - see you on the other side! We love you forever....

I learned this morning that my first cousin Doris White of Boston passed away. She was such a light in my early life, always smiling and happy. The light lives on.

Peoria Hollin Scruggs Bolden 1916-1989

I am remembering my grandmother/mother today.

Peoria Hollin Scruggs Bolden

May 25, 1916 - October 11, 1989

I miss her smile, her laugh, her wisdom and the irregular heartbeat through her chest.

I miss her low-pitched voice, her three-textured long hair, and her amazing spirit.

Mama was a giver, a teacher, a debater, and a helper.

She could sew, cook, clean, sing, pray, read and write.

Mama loved all her children in their uniqueness and their individuality.

She loved her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, god-son, siblings, nieces, nephews & cousins too!

Mama was a true friend to many.

She was an amazing woman, wife, and mother.

She was a woman of God and not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

I don't miss her with sadness, I miss her presence and her wisdom.

I miss her biscuits and sweet-rolls too. I'm glad she's resting in peace with no pain and suffering.

I'm glad I knew her.... I know you are too!

Rondo City Hall

Hi, I started a Rondo Arkansas Facebook Page.

I found out there was another one - it is hard to fathom that Rondo changed or grew any when I left Arkansas in June 1970 so I don't accept the other page. Who are those folks anyway?

Enjoy.

Pictures of Merdean Fielding Gales

According to the history on the Scruggs side, Merdean is the cousin of all the siblings.

She sings with Bobby Jones Gospel Group - and has for many, many years.

Allean (my mom) told me about Merdean many years ago.

Enjoy the photographs.
