Mama was a very precious mother and friend to anyone who knew her. She was a special God-fearing lady. If you asked her to pray about something, you knew it would be done. She let us know, almost daily, that she was ready to go to heaven.

God saw she was getting tired and the cure was not to be. He put his loving arms around her and whispered “Come with me.” A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove he only takes the best.

It will be very hard to do without you, Mom, but we know God knows best. As we’ve expressed many times, thanks for being a special mother. Heaven will never welcome a sweeter Mama.

We wish to express special thanks to special caregivers, Linda, Gaye, and Diane.
