	The Family,    Just wanted the Family to know that I count it a privilege to be a part of this family for 36 years. I could have not found a better mother-in-law. Ms. Hensley always treated me with respect and accepted me into her family as if I were a son. She will be really missed.    Douglas L. Berry

	Half of my childhood was spent at Grammy's house. Although her past few years were taken away by Alzheimers Disease, the memories of her are so plentiful that they can never be overshadowed. She will be sorely missed. With her passing, an era gone-by passes as well, but the life lessons she left with the family will serve us well into our future. Thanks Grammy--for your life, your legacy and your love!
