Mama,

I hope I can speak for us all. We know you won't be around to see new things that many of us wanted you to see -- new babies, new Churches and so much more. You gave so much and sacrificed your happiness to help others. Your crochet pieces are all over town and in many peoples homes -- keep sakes that are worth millions. No more of your delicious Italian spaghetti. No more calls from you for our help. No more calls from us for your help. Many of us will have regrets that we did not match your giving. We will miss you being there for us. Your life and death has taught us much. We want to thank you with all our hearts. We love ... love you so much that words can not explain how much. We pray that all hurts have been forgiven. We believe you are in the presence of the Lord, a place where we will all meet some day after the Great Trumpet sounds. God is true and He always keeps His word. He has got a place prepared for all those who truly love Him, who have been born again. We long to see our Savior and you again. Your body may be here but you have gone, both soul and spirit, to be with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We now need to rejoice for you are in such a better place and at peace.

With All of Our Love,
Rog, Bobby, Bernie, Sue, Linda, Al, Roby, Cindy, Ann, Charles, Janet, Dallas, Jim, Dot, Grandchildren, Great Grandchildren and rest of your Family, Church and Friends, and all others who Love You! We miss you and will see you later!
