Dora, Gary, Stan, Jean, and Larry. I am praying for you all as well as for the rest of our family. Life on earth will never be the same. My heart hurts yet I am at peace knowing she is with our Lord, and we will meet again one day. I have so many great memories to reflect on. How much she always wanted her family to be together on the Holidays. She is getting her wish this Holiday season. So many will be gathered together for her our Queen. I know she loved the Lord, her family, to cook and bake cakes and pies. She loved to play cards and games and talk crap while she was playing. She loved ducks and shopping at Dillard’s. Those things will remain in my heart and mind. I miss her phone calls already. Your Mother was loved by so many, and she will never be forgotten. May the Lord lift you up in your time of sorrow. RIP MOM
