“Our Mom was the most loving, caring, compassionate and forgiving parent that any child could ask for and the best cook and baker.  She loved her family, especially her grandchildren and was so very proud of their accomplishments.  She experienced many joys and also many sorrows in her life, but she was a strong woman and persevered through all her trials and tribulations. Mom you are loved more than you will ever know and will be missed until the end of time.  You are now with Daddy and your children and grandchildren.  We love you and we know that you are safe in the arms of our Lord.  May he hold you close.  Rest Easy Mama”, Love, Esther and Cheryl.
