A humble servant of the Lord who gave her best to everyone she met. She was an inspiration to all of her children, and even all those who called her mama, auntie and friend. Her legacy has been passed down to her grandchildren and great-grandchild. She will now be able to sing with the Angels in Heaven.
I love you Mama and thank you for being a blessing to my life.

"Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excelleth them all. Give her of the fruits of her hands and let her own works praise her in the gates (Proverbs 31:29,31)."

What can I say about a woman who was the best at everything she did. She was the best mother, grandmother, aunt, friend, and confidante anyone could have. She gave unconditional love to all who knew her. She was a woman that was never short on words "O) I have been blessed by her teachings, her presence and definitely her love.
May you enjoy your time in Heaven until we get there to be with you,
Love your granddaughter,
Nicki
