Mom, You were a wonderful example all through your life of how a strong woman lives. You worked diligently for your family and shared your love with so many….not just family, but friends of all ages. You will always be in my heart. I find peace knowing you are with the Good Lord…..maybe helping Him remember who’s who! You NEVER forgot a face or failed to give everyone a smile. “Remember, it doesn’t cost a nickel to be kind.” Love you so very much.
I could talk with my mother about anything including politics, religion, philosophy, history, science, business, law, and even automobiles and she was interested in all and had her own opinion and was never offended by what I had to say.
LOVE DAVID
Oh Mom, what a capacity you had to give. Your smile and kindness, your tolerance and love, and your strength, wow, your amazing strength. I’m guessing you had no idea your impact on others, and how much you were loved – and you were loved. There are no words to say how happy I am that I was able to spend your last days with you. All the hugs and I love you’s, all the kisses and sugars are the special treasures I have from you now when I need them. I will miss you, and miss you more than I am sure I can know now. I love you Mom, love you.
Your Nita
