She was the glue that held her family together, and her greatest offering to family and friends was love and prayer. She never failed to say "I love you" anytime you spoke with her. She was faithful to God, praying, reading her Bible, or asking a blessing on every morsel of food. Her faith never waivered in storms, raising her hands and rebuking them. She picked berries and made jelly and salsa for her family and many others. She always prayed over anything she was making for others; her secret ingredient was love! The best mamma, Gram, Nummy, and friend, you could ask for. She had kind blue eyes, a beautiful smile and an ornery giggle when she was pulling a prank on someone. She loved to have fun with her family. She is preceded in death her parents, her husband, an infant daughter, she never got to see, hold, or go to her funeral, but mourned for 77 years, Lorallen, who was a twin to Tootie. We know she is rejoicing in Heaven, eternally with her Jesus, and those she loves.
