I am from NE Louisiana and my husband is from Southern Arkansas. We met in Jackson, MS and have lived here since 1987.

My family tree: Chapman/Averett/Leggette/Toney (from Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama)

My husband's family tree: Yocom/Clift/Summerhill/Sweeney (from Arkansas and Alabama)

Thank you to the ones that have left flowers on my family's pages.

I live close to three cemeteries in Madison County, MS.:

1 Jessamine Cemetery

2) Parkway Memorial Cemetery

3) Natchez Trace Memorial Park (Madison, MS.)

I visit my family's graves at Providence Memorial Park in Lake Providence twice a year to put flowers on their graves.

All of these cemeteries are the ones that I cover the most.

Lately I have been having "frivolous corrections" in obituaries. Please don't bother me with corrections that you put relative names in "bold writing." I will always decline them. Do them on your page, don't bother me with it!

Also, recently I have been having "corrections or add on" in obituaries. I always put where the obituaries came from. So I will be denying any corrections.

Recently I have had corrections suggested for me to add military rankings to ex military men that were way up into age when they passed and/or retired. From now on, I will only be adding military rankings to the ones that have passed while are currently serving in the military.

One of my recent "irks"that I have noticed is, if you are going to send me a notification about one of my memorials needing a "Veteran" notification, at least leave a flower on their page. I have had several volunteers that are just looking for veteran notifications and are not leaving any flowers or military design in their flower section.
