My Meme always had food on the table and a warm hug waiting for me when I went to visit her growing up as a grandchild of hers. I was her long, tall Texan. Christmas, & Thanksgiving was always the best time of year because of the get-togethers we had at my meme and pawpaw's house.
What I remember most about Sis Linsteadt was her finding me at church to give me that sweet smile, warm hug and always tell me how pretty I was. (Even though I knew better) She had a way about her to make you feel loved and special . You were her focus at that moment of contact. Her home was just as inviting as her arms. When you walked through the door you felt at home. Everyday I passed by where she lived on my way to work and would say a prayer for her.
Heaven has gained a jewel. She will be missed greatly. I can just see her as she walks in giving hugs to everyone she knows as she walks toward the throne of God. Goodbye for now my sweet friend, but I plan to see you again some day.
