December 20, 2007 Grandmother, some of my most cherished memories are of the summers that we spent together with Aunt Barbara in Madisonville, especially the summer nights. Brian and I would always sleep upstairs with you. I remember that you had the softest satin pillow cases. I loved those, still do. :) We would always sleep with the windows open. You could hear the train whistles in the distance and the crickets and frogs outside. Every time I hear those sounds today, it takes me back to that carefree time in my life. I love you Grandmother & I will miss you so much! Jenna    Jenna Myers (Chattanooga, TN)    December 19, 2007 I never had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Cornett but I do know her son, Darrell. He was my boss for many years and one of the finest men I have ever known. I know Mrs. Cornett must have been a special person because of the love and values she taught her son. My thoughts and prayers are with the whole family. May you have peace. God bless.    Katy Lovingood (Chattanooga, TN)    December 19, 2007 I Love you Grandmother and will miss you greatly! I'll never forget our 'Campfire' we built on the back porch of the old house. I still say it looked like a police car coming up the road and not a taxi cab!    Brian Cornett (Ooltewah, TN)    December 17, 2007 Tommie was such a wonderful person. Our days at Powell's 5&10 were some of the best memories I have. She was always very wise and loving to all of us that worked there. She will forever have a special place in my heart.    Vickie Gentry Croft (Vonore, TN)
