I agree with Angela, definitely like a second mother to us and just a special and sweet, loveable lady. Always had something for the kids and was so good to Moma, helped us with her as much as she could. I love her for that. You could not ask for a better friend; she was a blessing. She was a God send but she was tired; she can rest in peace now.
