Our Mama was a loving wife, devoted mother, faithful friend, cherished Aunt and devout Christian. She gave God the glory for every blessing and had trusting faith for every trial of her life to be a blessing in the end. And they were.
She taught us that FAMILY is all that matters in your life to be truly happy. She loved us all beyond measure and spent her life loving, guiding, protecting and praying for all she loved.
We will miss her every moment of our lives and continue her legacy of love and faith in a way that will make her proud of us all. She will forever be our hero and the wind beneath our wings. Fly with the angels Mama....until we are together again.
