Mom, no one sings an old gospel hymn like you. You showed what true love and selflessness is. You touched the lives of so many people. Cared for so many people. Love you always! Miss you !

Your generous and unconditional love for everyone will be so missed. My sweetest memories were of you and Aunt Sandy dressing me up and taking me on the bus to LS Ayres to see Santa and all the Christmas decorations.
I’m so glad you’re no longer in pain and at peace now wrapped in the arms of Jesus.
Love you, Terry
