jerry said one of his favorite memories was -grady had a white rooster and every time joyce was outside that rooster would chase her.she started carrying her a large stick with her when she went outside. one day that ole rooster headed toward her and she had her stick and clubed him upside his head.no more was he able to chase her.more than likely he was a pot of dumplings.

Mrs. Risinger was one of the sweetest women I've ever known. She was always so kind and welcoming to me and my children. She was always so good to my sister and treated her like her own daughter. She was a true gem!! She will be missed but never forgotten. Rest in peace Mrs. Risinger!
