Our mother was a work of art that only God himself could create.  She was the best mother, grandmother, and Gigi and we are incredibly blessed that she was ours.  She had a beautiful loving soul, she was incredibly funny, and was always willing to assist anyone in need. She was full of strength and courage, and we will miss her dearly.

Some of her last words to us were “I will wait for you in heaven and goodnight”.  With momma it was never goodbye but goodnight.  We will carry those words with us every day until we ourselves are called home and will be reunited with her again.

John 3:16

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

We love you momma, and never goodbye always goodnight.

-Your children
