I did not reach all my goals in life, but I met a man (Jesus) at a young age who helped me achieve many of them for which I am thankful. I leave to each one of my family a flower from my spray to say I loved each of you in a SPECIAL way.
My motto in life was: I shall pass through this world once; any good thing, therefore that I can do, any kindness that I can show to any human being---Let me do it now, for I shall not pass this way again.
The family would like to thank the staff at Willis-Knighton South, Life Care, Town and Country Health and Rehab, and the home healthcare givers. Rose-Neath Funeral Home
