May was like a second mother to me during my younger years. When I think of her, I will always think of her laughing. She had a great sense of humor that she thankfully passed on to her daughter's. She will be greatly missed by all that were lucky enough... more

Aunt May will always have a special place in my heart. Oh all the years of great memories to cherish. I remember riding around in the back of that old station wagon when I was a kid. I would help with the Avon orders. Years of church and Vacation bible... more

I remember as a small child, my grandma would pull me up in her lap. She would get out a pen and paper and ask me what I could imagine. She would draw whatever silly scenario I could come up with. We would pass the pen back and forth adding details until... more

When I was growing up, pretty much every adult you knew would yank a knot in your tail if you were acting up. That’s just how it was. We have a great mother, but sometimes during those formidable years, you need to have two or more. May Vance was my #2 Mom, and she was awesome! Anytime you saw her, she was smiling. She rarely would say anything bad about anyone. She would kinda look down, and she’d say, “I’m a little disappointed in ‘so and so’, they should know better” And that’s about all she would say. She loved on me like I was one of her own kids. I still have the giant birthday card she gave me on my 16th birthday. She was so funny too! She’d start to tell us a story about something that happened to her growing up on the farm, and she would start giggling and snorting trying to tell the story, we’d all be dying laughing, just laughing with her! She loved Jesus, and I know she made him smile. May was also a little forgetful. We would pile into their station wagon to go somewhere, and inevitably, she would set her purse on the roof of the car and get it. We’d get to our destination, and she would start to get out and be like, “Oh, I forgot my purse!” And there it would be sitting on the roof. Luckily, there was a luggage rack on the roof that kept the purse corralled in. Way back in those days, everyone had CB radios in their vehicles. Of course, you had to have a CB ‘ handle’ that everyone knew it was you. May’s was perfect, ‘Lampshade’! She always wore these wide brim floppy hats, they were kinda her signature thing back then. And she lived up to the name in every single way.
When I heard this morning that she had gone onto heaven, I started remembering all the great times we had, and this thought came to mind. How much fun would it be in heaven, if when we arrived, you were addressed by everyone by your CB handle or nickname? Wouldn’t that be cool?!?😎 I know that she is going to be greatly missed by her family and friends. But I can assure you, even though it’s been a long time since she danced, ole ‘Lampshade’ is dancing and singing with the angels today! And that....... that’s the beginning of our hearts mending. Love ya, Ma#2! 🧡💙 less

When Grandma used to babysit me, I would read her books from the Junie B. Jones series, and we would laugh together. It was always fun playing Go Fish with her, because she would competitively yell go fish at me.😂 When I was quite young, I followed... more
