Mama was as a mighty tree full of wisdom and longevity. Her gnarley branches represent her 13 kids. Each filled with many memories. The leaves represent her many grand/great-grand/and great-great grankids – are as the many leaves - hard to count - Mama’s branches & leaves listen to the wind blowing through – singing. Mama sang God’s praise. Mama as the tree offered shade/comfort and so much more. The lesson’s of her strength taught us we can overcome the challenges of life and can grow.
