My grandmother, Novilla Templeton, known as Memaw to most, passed Saturday, June 2nd at our farm on Caddo, and the funeral was held June 5th at New-Hope out on Caddo Hwy. My grandfather's side, the Rainey's were founders of that territory, check out Macedonia cementary. Shawna and Angela attended the service, many from my class supported me with phone calls and flowers, thanks Christina, Marlena, and Jennifer King, as she was your Memaw, too. The corn-plant Shawna sent on the behalf of the Class of 1991 is in my grandfather's room as this was the plant Memaw always placed in his room near a picture window, so it could not have been more fitting! I spoke at her funeral and it was the best gift I could have given from my heart, and Ronny Guess was so touched that he told me that I am a very special person, as many were moved as well. God granted 2 things she wished...more time with the family and a quick passing, while in her sleep. That's my comfort that she is in heaven, because of this grace sweet Jesus gave. I am sure she holds the reins to a white horse waiting for my grandfather to come for a ride. Oh, Jeb, your mother was an angel working with New-Hope Church preparing the beautiful luncheon enjoyed by the community, tell her thank you again for me. If I missed anyone in my note, please accept my apologies. Tony, I wished you were there, it was lonely without your comfort.
