Sweet wisps; Deep admiration. She taught us how to Love people; how to care and share. How to cook; how to look. Such wisdom she possessed; Like a shield. Sometimes fierce protection; sometimes allowing Carlita, Lisa and I to take our first steps, but always there to pick us up. Our Precious, precious Mommie. I Praise God she went as quickly as she did. She has been in such pain for so long, but dealing with it, hanging on for her family. Living with her husband of 38 years that Loved her as fiercely as we did. Our hearts go out to him as it does to us. She kept her sense of humor against a lot of odds She is our Angel always near, always here. Mommie our hearts are breaking... Love, Scotty, Carla, Carlita, and Lisa says me too....
