Almost 41 years ago, you came into my life. I’ll never forget that day. You were the strongest woman I ever knew. You truly personified what it meant to give. You opened your home to anyone in need of a place to stay. I will never forget you. You will be missed.
PS: The wall is missing one last brick. ( You know what I’m talking about.) Good bye and God protect you.

Aunt Earlyn,
You were the most compassionate, kind, caring, loving and understanding person in this family. You were always there to take up for someone and try to make others understand what a person may be going through.
Your sweet personality made it a treat to see you… anytime, anywhere! You have always welcomed anyone into your home and heart. I will miss you more than you know. I’m so happy that Abby & I were blessed to live with you when she was growing up! I am also so happy that we were able to see you so much this Summer. I’ve learned so much from you and will try hard to apply those things in everyday life!
Thank you for being you and adding wisdom and love to every visit that we were blessed with. I love you so much Earlyn!
I promise to look after Mom & Jimmy for you, along with trying to be more active in Stepheney, Mike, Maddie, Morgan, Savanna, Timmy and Myles life! We will do better and hopefully become closer! I love you and you will always live on in my heart! Til we meet again…. fly high with Joanie, Ginger, Marlene, Walter, Mom-Mom, Pop-Pop and all of the other angels that were waiting for you to arrive!!
Forever in my heart! I love you always and forever!
Love

Earlyn you will be missed. Such a Sweet and kind lady. We worked at FedEx together, until she retired. I use to see her in Lowe’s and around town. Heaven certainly must be happy to have you “Home”. This home will miss you! My Condolences and Sympathies to your family… May you Rest in Peace. Your job is done here. Good job! You get a Bravo Zulu in Gold! Much love, Earlyn. Mary Piper

Dear Stephanie, Michael, and family,
I’m so sorry for the loss of your Mom. She was truly a good woman, strong, loyal, and true. And although I know you will miss her, please take comfort in the fact she is no longer suffering and in all of the memories you have of your time spent together. I pray she’s reunited with her loved ones who passed before and especially her sister and best friend Ginger.

My aunt whom I love very much. Every time I look through the Audubon and see page after page of birds or see a particular bird in person. I hear your voice from so many years ago when I was young asking me “what’s your favorite bird”. I will always hear your voice asking me that when I see those creatures that God has painted so perfectly. We will all miss you and always love you.

I was fortunate enough to have a friend in Earlynn. We had some pretty great earth changing conversations she wasn’t afraid to take on the big topics and stand on the side of what is good and fair and always chose kindness . She often spoke with love and concern about her family . I will miss her perspective and her friendship. I will miss her. My sincere sympathy to Stephanie and Michael and family.
