Mamaw, or in Donnie's case, his mom too, you will always be in our hearts. Donnie has always said that you were not only his grandmother but also his mother. Even thought he chose the wrong road early in life, she never gave up praying for him, down on her knees every night for the last 45 years.
All those prayers finally came true and he was able to turn his life around thanks to her and all of her prayers. You raised him to be the man he has turned out to be, and you will always have a very special place in his heart. Thank you for always being there no matter what. We could always talk to you about anything and you always gave the best advice, no matter what the problem or issue was. If anyone ever had a seat in heaven, we know without a doubt that it is you. You will be so very missed. All our love!!
