Mrs. Lula, I am so sorry to hear about your Mama. I know you loved her dearly, and she loved her family. It's hard to find the right words to say, but I hope you know that God's love is better than anything and she is now a beautiful angel in Heaven. May you and your family find strength and comfort during this time. Love, Tammy Thomas-Spires
