Our beautiful momma took her journey to eternal life on May 19, 2015. We know she was met by Our Lord Jesus Christ with open arms and imagine she was welcomed with these words, "Well done, my good and faithful servant". She taught us about love, faith, and courage. We are honored that we were able to care for her and although we are heartbroken, we know she remains with us in spirit. Momma, we love you for eternity and we will see you in a blink of your eye. You're free butterfuly.
