L-R: David Cheesman ,  Angele Louise (Bernabe-Renaud) Pritchett, Shirley  (Pritchett) Tatem and Jean Claude (Pritchett) Martino about to board the General Jackson Show Boat, Nashville, Tennessee.  
 03 AUG 2008.   Our hearts are broken, for God has called you home.   We will miss you here,  for now we are blessed with sweet memories of wonderful times we shared.    For we are promised that we  shall meet again, renewed and pure,  in God's glorious garden.  
 


Mom always showered me with so much love ,  from the very first time I met her at 15, She was so devoted to her family and loved them with all her heart and then some !  I loved her smile and the many nicknames she would give to  all of us.  I can't even begin  to  count the numerous softball, basketball ,baseball ,soccer and lacrosse games she attended  with not only her sons  but every grandchild  as well. In the cold and heat on the hard benches and bleachers  she was right there by our sides  cheering them on and you could see in her eyes that she really enjoyed  watching them. She never missed a birthday , anniversary or graduation . She would go trick or treating just to walk around with us because she never missed an opportunity  to be with her family. She was never too busy or too tired  and she was amazing at dividing  her time with her grandchildren. I  aim to be a grandmother like she was because she was absolutely wonderful ! The most selfless woman I know along with my sister. In my 37 years with her I never seen her in a bad mood or ever be mean to anyone , When my father in law became wheelchair  bound she took care of him for over 17 years until her health declined . She is loved and missed deeply to the depths of  all our hearts and it will never be the same! LOVE you MOM💜
