Our Mother, Beautiful, Strong, Caring, Compassionate, Faithful, Loving, Humble, Godly and Spirit filled, an Encourager. The thing we will remember most about our mother is how she cared for others, how she always put others needs before her own Wise in council and always leading by example instilling in her girls that same strength and grace she displayed. “SHE WAS OUR ROCK”

From her Bible she quoted: Psalm 73:24

“Thou shalt guide me with thy council and afterward receive me to glory”

The family would like to thank the caregivers at Charlotte Square’s Suzanne’s Cottage for the many years of love and dedication of caring for our mother. “You will never be forgotten”.

Also, a huge thank you to the Hospice and Palliative Care, Charlotte Region, for their unprecedented service in the final hours of Mother’s life. “You, too, will never be forgotten”.
