We miss you "MamawO "

Mamaw O. went to be with our heavenly father on Monday June 29th.
We will love and miss her and she remains in our hearts forever.
Mamaw was 93 years old and an amazing lady. She was the stongest most independant lady I know. Mamaw was still driving from time to time, and we always knew when she was coming up the road... there was always a line of cars behind her. You had to smile!!!!
This beautiful lady taught me allot in the 21 years I knew her. Her strength taught me that no matter what life throws at you, you deal with it and go on, hold your head high and don't let any thing or anyone get you down. The love and respect she showed for her family taught me that there is no better love than the love from your family and to never take any day for granted.
I always felt this unspoken connection between Billy and Mamaw. When Mamaw was in the room Billy's eyes would light up like twinkling stars. Mamaw would always just pat him and smile. One memory I was always hold dear to my heart is the Christmas that mamaw and Billy played ball. Billy was lying in the floor and she rolled a ball to him (without any expectations of a retun pass), Billy swatted the ball with his arm right back to her. The look of pure excitment and amazement on Mamaws face was worth a million bucks. They played ball for for sometime that evening. Chelsea also had an amazing experiance with Mamaw just about a week before she passed away. Chelsea was visiting her at her house one evening when a bad storm came up. Mamaw, Joyce and Chelsea ended up going to the basement with candles. While in the basement ,Mamaw told Chelsea stories of her childhood and the love of her life ( Clarence D. Owens), and what it was like years ago. What a blessed experiance for Chelsea!! Mamaw also called Chelsea a Ninny for being scared of spiders. Chelsea thought that was halarious.
As sad as we are that Mamaw passed away, we also celebrate her amazing "93" years of "life".

Update on Mamaw O."GOD IS GOOD"

So far mamaw has gotten really good reports from the doctor's. The plastic surgeon that removed her skin cancer is pretty confident he cleared all margins. YEAHHHHHHHH
Yesturday she saw her PCP and got even better news......the spot (swelling) on her brain is a lession that she probably has had for years and he does not think it has anything to do with Cancer! Praise God!!!!!! The next step is to check the spot on her spine. Please pray that this test will come back with good results as well.
This amazing 93 year old lady is definatly my "HERO"! God Is Good!!!

Prayers for Mamaw O.

Please pray for Billy's Mamaw O. She is 93 years old, back in January she was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and under went a lumpectomy. She has also been struggling with Squamous Cell Carcinoma( Skin Cancer). Monday she had surgery to remove some of the cancer from her face...the doctors believe the prognosis may not be that great..they fear they were unable to clear all margins. She will get the oficial results this coming Monday. Today she was admitted to the hospital do to some leg weakness and a funny feeling in her head. A ct scan was done and the findings were not good. She has some swelling on her brain and they found a spot on her back. They will be doing some further testing tomorrow.

Mamaw O. is an amazing lady...she has not let her age slow her down one bit.

She still lives by herself and occasionally drives her self to church and the grocerie store.

"Please lift her up in your prayers".

A day on the Green Belt!! Billy had a blast!

I just wanted to report that Billy is doing great.

A Hard Way To Learn Respect For Our Moving Toy's

Some times in life we have to learn lessons the hard way....................
Last Saturday Steve and Brittany went motocross racing. Before Brittany's race all the guys got her really pumped up and I think I also heard something about some sugar and mountain dew. She really wanted the win, more than usual........
Her first moto she was doing really good until the pressure was a little more than she could handle,she got throttle pinned and went over the handle bars "hard" face first. We spent several hours in the ER that night. The pictures will tell the rest of the story..................
These two pics are just reminders of that beautiful little face

This is how she looked when Steve brought her home............Yes I freaked!!!!!!!!

Usually hate it when I can't go to the races with them...

Never been happier that I chose to stay home....(actually Billy was not feeling well so we stayed home)

Bless her heart.....she was so brave......no tears until Steve got the bikes loaded up and they headed home.

This is the next day........... Thank God no broken bones!!!!

I think Brittany learned that she needs to have respect for everyone and everything!! It is very important to respect even our toys because they can sometime "Bite Us"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The best thing is that she is feeling much better and wearing her war wounds with much pride.
