I want to thank everyone for their thoughts, kindness, and prayers for me and my family. Mom was a wonderful lady. Loved everyone that came in her life. Never had a bad word for anyone. Most of all she Loved her creator. No matter what she went through she stayed to her faith and praised God. Now she is having a family reunion with all that went before her and joining them in praising our wonderful God. Love you and miss you mom. But I know you are keeping an eye on all of us. You will always live in our hearts and minds.
