Mom, as we prepare to lay you to rest, so many wonderful beautiful memories of you come to mind. If I have alittle bit of you in me - how blessed am I. You were the perfect example of a wife, mother, grandmother and a woman of God. You fought a fight like no other to stay with us. You are free of all pain now. Fly high in paradise mom until we meet again, love you
