Our mama was loving and caring.  She loved life and loved her family.  She is in heaven with daddy now, and we know she is happy.  She touched our lives in so many ways and taught us so many lessons.  Our lives will never be the same without her.  We love you mama.

Special thanks to our Dayspring Hospice family for all their love and care.  We love you Erica, Cherita, Jeannette, Deborah, and Bobby.
