Not sure what to say?

Anna Mae was a faithful member of The Bethlehem Salvation Army’s Seniors, and a happy volunteer for any event. She worked faithfully, helping to distribute food to the community several days a week. She was a cheerful resident when she moved into nursing care, even there volunteering to help others. Her faith in Jesus was first and firm in the knowledge that Jesus was her Savior. Anna Mae was a blessing on earth and now a happy resident in heaven.

I can’t even begin to express how broken I am. I don’t know life without you. I hit the lottery when you adopted me and I couldn’t be more grateful. You were so selfless. Not only with your family but with everyone. You’ve never turned away a person in need, even if you didn’t have the means. You are the best person I will ever know and I was so lucky to call you Mom. Love you forever.

You will be forever in my heart.
