Momma was my rock on this earth! I am very proud to say that I was a Momma's boy!
Though my path will become more difficult to travel without her, I will continue to live my life with the Godly beliefs, ethics & morals that she & Daddy instilled in me!
Momma walks the streets of gold today, hand in hand with our Heavenly Father.
Rejoice my precious little Momma... You fought the good fight & are finally home seeing Daddy, Papaw, Mamaw, Aunt Geraldine, Uncle Eugene & Cousin Phillip.
You were truly my Angel on earth! I love you Momma!!!
