She was a special lady that will be missed by all!
God saw you getting tired when a cure was not to be, so he closed his arms around you and whispered "Come to Me."
A golden heart stopped beating, your busy hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us he only takes the best.
In tears we saw you sinking, we watched you fade away, our hearts were almost broken, you tried so hard to say. But when we saw you sleeping peacefully, free from pain. We could not wish you back with us, to suffer that again.
So keep your arms around her Lord, and give her special care. Make up for all she suffered that seemed to us unfair.
So many times we needed you, so many times we cried, if love could have saved you, you never would have died.
We will always love you Ma. And we will see you one day in Heaven.
A graveside service will be held on July 27, 2002, at 3 p.m. in the family plot at the Hope Cemetery in Georgia, located on 104-A.
