  1. PoPo and Family,
    All my thoughts and prayers are with you. I regret not being able to be with you at this time of need.
    I am so thankful for my cousin Janet and my sister Jeannie who have always managed to be there for Gram & PoPo. You two have given me a lot of comfort knowing you are there when I couldn’t be.
    Every time I smell fresh peaches it reminds me of Gram. I was very little when I used to visit Gram & PoPo living in the Mullens guest house that was surrounded by a peach orchard. Growing up I remembered the wonderful smell in Grandmothers garage. It was during a conversation with Gram that I was finally able to identify that wonderful smell.
    I have fond memories of her smile, gentle hands, the impact of her music on me and her great granddaughter Brandi, and how she made me feel special for the abilities I had. Hot apple strudel, the view of Pikes Peak, the terrifying car rides along the cliffs of Phantom Canyon, Will Rogers Shrine, Garden of the Gods, Royal Gorge, Cripple Creek……on and on and on. She had exposed me to and made me appreciate so much in life. I will miss her terribly and will love and cherish her memory always.

    I love you PoPo.

    Your loving Granddaughter,
    Nancy Yourtee Brewster

  2. Please accept my sympathy on the passing of Mae.
    Thurlow, you were my music teacher at Ellis Grove just a few years ago. I have some good memories of being in your classes.
    We lived in Lake City, CO for 5 years. We moved back to AR in 2002 to be closer to our daughter and her family in Little Rock.
    Sincerely…
