Tom and Barb, Beverly and Dave, Janice and Don, When you called and informed us of Mom's Homegoing we were deeply sadden but at the same time we were flooded with many years of memories. Mom was such a loving person and would do anything for anybody. She had a love for her Lord and Savior and was in constant prayer that her family would come to know Him as she did. I am sure that when she arrived in Heaven and spent some time with Dad and John and other family members who have went before that she headed for the kitchen to make some homemade goodies and made a meal fit for the King and had a grand party. We are going to miss you Mom but we know that you will be at the gate at our arrival. All of Our Love

My sincere condolences to the family I have come to know and love. We might be 2nd and 3rd cousins, but I sure don't feel removed. Ms. Leone, my Florida mom, will always be remembered by me as a very special and Godly lady. God gave her the gift of hospitality which she used faithfully. Her talents for cooking, baking and homemaking accentuated her gift. Roy and Leone opened their home to my family when we moved to Florida and always invited us to be a part of their holiday gatherings. I shall be eternally grateful for their hospitality. I know Leone is at the feet of Jesus rejoicing and praising Him and I look forward to the day I join her in the presence of my Lord.

Grandma was such a wonderful, and Godly woman. She always made everyone feel right at home. I miss the baking she used to do, and going to yard sales with her and Grandpa. I also remember going blueberry picking with them. They always were the highlight of my life whenever they came to visit. I know that she is with him again, and that she is with the Lord, so I am at peace knowing that I will see her again.
