Janet, Vickie, and Family,

God saw Ms. Eddie Mae was getting tired and a cure was not to be, so he put His arms around her and whispered, “Come to me.” With tearful eyes, you watched her and saw your mother pass away. Although you loved her dearly, you could not make her stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.

Although it is difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow. Remember that we love and care about you.
