My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort. I will always remember her in a loving way. She was a wonderful person. Her husband an her children she dearly loved. Her grandchildren she loved. But she talked of JESUS an his love. If there is anything I can do for you all just let me know.

For anyone who might read this....I want to tell you this is my momma, and she was a treasure to her family. She had a will to live but her body was tired. She loved her children and grandchildren more than any of us could imagine and we her. She will be greatly missed by us all, but because our momma knew Jesus we know that we who are left behind have the hope of seeing her again. This is God's promise to us.
