“Our Mother gave a loving and helping hand to ALL who needed it. Her hospitality and good home cooking blessed us and strangers alike.” (Margie)

“Mother greeted everyone warmly and with a smile. She treated people with respect and kindness. Everyone was welcome in her world. As a school age child she taught us to pray and respect the things of the Lord. I was never allowed to say a bad word to anyone. I was to mind my manners and care for others.” (Clara)

“She was a good mom. The best ever was!” Simple words for a loving Godly Mother (Donald)

“Our mother impacted our lives with the word of God. She prayed for us daily and even saw angels. She loved and trusted Jesus with her whole heart. She was so proud that all her children trusted and gave their lives to the Lord Jesus.”
