She acted as the lighthouse to her sons and granddaughter. During every storm we would look to her for guidance to assure safety. Though the light will be gone from this earth, there are three more lights shining brightly because of you. You will forever be missed. We love you Mommy.
“Come walk the lovely shores with me where precious treasure’s lie, we will gather jewels from the sea, let’s walk there you and I.”
She leaves special “sister” friends to cherish her memories, Kaye Patterson, Becky Buckland, Peggy Perdue and Bonnie Alberts; ladies who lifted her up when she was down, encouraged her to keep on keeping on, brought her sunshine on a cloudy day and gave her hope along the way. You will be missed dear friend…
