Dear Gerald and family,

I married into Velma Jean's brother Willie's family in January, 2004. It's been a whirlwind ever since. The other day I told my mother-in-law Margie that if you look up the word "vivacious" in the dictionary, Velma Jean's picture is right there.

The first time I met her it was at John Carpenter's 30th birthday. This woman walked in the door, proceeded up the aisle, beautifully coiffed and dressed. ended up at me, sweating in the kitchen and said "You must be Dee. We'll talk later."

Last time we saw the Pinsons was at a surprise birthday party last December when they tricked "Nanny" Sue Carpenter to a concert next door. We have some, too few, memories but what great people.

Velma Jean will definitely be a hit in her new environs, and missed down here. She's in our hearts. Love from Dee and Jimmy##imported-begin##Dee and James Carpenter##imported-end##

Dr. Pinson, Cindy,and Sandy,
I was so shocked to hear about Mrs. Pinson. She was an amazing lady who touched alot of people and will continue too. I knew her in Junior High and from Cindy and I being in the same classes. Then it was Kilgore College and Dr. Pinson and finally Sandy and her practice. So, I came to know the whole family. You are a wonderful family and I can only imagine how hard this is for all of you but her strengh and all the memories you have of her will get you through this time. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Sincerely,
Margaret Emmons Muston##imported-begin##Margaret Emmons Muston##imported-end##

Dear Pinson Family,

Mrs. Pinson was one of my teachers at PT High School. I don't remember a whole lot from the material that was taught, but I do remember the teacher.

Also, she was the Christ on Campus sponsor while I was a memeber of that group. I appreciated her involvement in that group and the contribution to my life as her student.

May the peace of the Lord Jesus Christ comfort you in this time of grief while knowing that she is resting eternally in His peace.
