This is our second hardest goodbye. We lost our dad in 2012 to prostate cancer. Now momma has been called home and we will see both of them later.
Momma touched the lives of so many people in one way or another. She instilled good morals, respect and love. She taught us how to be responsible and to respect ourselves and others. Momma taught all of us many lessons of life. She wasn’t one to sit around. She was always doing something or make us do it. Momma loved all of us in her own way.
