What a legacy of integrity, patience, and strength she left us. Our lives reflect the values she taught us and will be passed on to our children and grandchildren. We remember her wonderful sense of humor and quiet endurance as she faced her final days without complaint. Mama, your love of God, family, church, friends, and country exemplify a life lived to the fullest. What a testimony you have been. We love and miss you but rejoice that you are home.
