And So many friends and extended family.
Our Mother, friend, grandma and sister was the most remarkable and the most beautiful of souls.
Her legacy she leaves behind is her family. For that was what she treasured the most in her life and gave her "as she would say" her purpose.
She loved to write short stories. She loved Journaling and writing poetry. She loved flowers and feeding her birds which gave her great pleasure and great joy. She loved Bingo and missed going and seeing her longtime friends. She loved music especially Elvis and George Jones and loved listening to the oldies on Sunday.
She was a strong woman of faith and God was a part of her every day journey. He saw her through good and bad and her faith remained strong. She raised her Children and taught her children of Our Lord Jesus Christ. And how we were so blessed to have had that in our lives. It is one of the many things our mother gave us and taught us.
She will be missed greatly but her legacy will live on..for that I know.
She is at rest now and rejoicing in Heaven, an Angel with a new body free of pain and dancing with her Husband again and reunited with those loved and lost and walking alongside Jesus.
Our loss but Heavens gain.
Until we meet again
We love you
