    Mrs.Showalter … She had time for everyone, no pretenses, just honest and with utmost integrity. She was such a woman of class. We all are lucky to have known her and Mr. Showalter and we are the better because of it. Their legacy will be revered.

    I was so sad when learning this. Mrs Showalter was one of the sweetest woman around this area. She never looked down on anyone simply because they were poor. She treated everyone the same. I never seen her that she wasn’t smiling. Always smiled and spoke to everyone. My thoughts and prayers go out to all her family. May God bless you all.

    Nat, Marina, Malinda and Melanie, I am so sorry to hear about Lina’s home going, but at the same time excited for I know she was ready and anxious to go. She was definitely an Angel and I know was welcomed in Heaven. You will miss her but the memories of your life with your Mother will be enjoy every time you think of the things all of you laughed about and shared as a family unit.
