To all of my family members: We suffered a great loss when Daddy, Shirley, Linda and David was taken away, but on November 9, 2004 we lost a very special and greatly loved member of our family who I know was an angel in the eyes of our Lord and Savior. Mother was a very special person and was loved greatly by all of our family as well as by all who knew her. I will miss mother so very much but I know that she will always be with us in our hearts. I know that mom is smiling and happy now because she is with her Lord and Savior and with the other members of our family that went before her. All of her pain and sickness is gone and she will never feel lonely or sad ever again. In knowing that she is in a much better place and is surrounded with those she loved, makes my loss just a little bit easier to bear. I am very thankful for the special times that we had together and the fun things we were able to do together and I will truly miss those times. When she was with me I always felt safe and so blessed to have an angel for a mother. I know that she went knowing just how loved she was by her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, other family members and friends. I will miss having her stay a few days with me when we would shop and do all the fun things she loved to do and when we would sit up late and talk for hours about our life. I thank God for those wonderful memories.
