Cori's 3rd grandmother

I can't remember the first time I met Floyd & Bettye Antwine. They are a couple that are about the same age as all of Cori's grandparents. When Cori was about a 2nd grader, they started attending her Little Dribbler basketball games & continued to be VERY faithful fans....all the way through volleyball season her senior year. They became an important part of our lives. I loved trading fishing stories with Floyd!

At the Granbury Church of Christ, we have an awesome program where families whose children are gone from home "adopt" one of the younger kids & commit to pray for them daily. Floyd & Bettye chose Cori & we loved knowing that they were covering us with their prayers.

When Jodie & Wade (my cousin & her son) moved here about 5 years ago, they took Wade into their circle. Floyd took him to play golf & they enjoyed each other's company.

Floyd passed away about a year and a half ago. We still miss him! Bettye has continued to be such a support and encouragement to our family.

She has recently sold her house & is moving tomorrow to be near her children in Tyler. We had a great visit over lunch yesterday. We will SO miss her, but commit to keep in touch & go visit.

Here are a couple of pictures of our time together yesterday.
