You will never know how much Aunt Ebb meant to me all of my life. I have wonderfuld memories from a small child to today. Her love, guidance, and prayers for me have meant so much. She truly became my mother after mom died and she knew it.
I know that it is very difficult for you now, but God richly blessed her by not letting her suffer. She will always remain in your heart and will live on in you forever.
We love all of you,
