From the time I was born till your last breath I knew you loved me and my family. No matter what kind of family conflicts there were you always reached out and showed your love. My daddy spoke so many sweet things about you and loved you very much. I'm sure you are being rewarded in heaven with the humble life you chose to live. Thank you for visiting with us one last time a couple years back. I will forever hold those memories close to my heart. Until we meet again.....Love
