Mother Fletcher will be greatly missed and she caused me to smile on so many days from her great words of wisdom and wonderful personality that will remain timeless and cherished. A bell was rang and she received her wings and will soar amongst the clouds and in every part of our hearts and thoughts. Please remember her life and how she caused your life to be just that much better with her time, care, love, prayer and compassion for others. Live life to the fullest and keep God in your lives.
