Our parents were married almost 60 years. Our mother loved to sing in church choirs at Eastern Hills and Temple Baptist and always insisted that we sing “Happy Birthday Jesus” before opening Christmas presents. She raised her children in the church and built a good foundation for each child. She was an excellent cook and was known for her refrigerator Coconut Cake. She loved watching Hallmark movies and scrapbooking. Anytime you parted from seeing our mother, she always said “I love you” and give you the best hug. One of her favorite songs was “I Just Called To Say I Love You”. While her last few years have been difficult with health issues, she was given great care by Glenn, Becky and Tim. Our family would like to express our deepest appreciation to all the special angels who gave exceptional care.
