A 1'ribute To Mom-My Best Friend Among all the peo Jle that I know, I picked you as my best friend. We laughed together and talked for hour~ . and hours. We had such a wonderful connection that all it took was a look and withou1 saying a word we would know what one another was sayin g. You taught me grc:at values; to put Christ first in my life, how to be a good wife, mother and homemakt-r; how to respect myself and others, how to love my husband, my children and granc.children. We had such a closeness that we even shared the same aches and pains. You ught me to love God and the church by the life that you lived before me. Now that you passed this torch to me, I hold it up to your standards above and beyond that you have taught me to do. I'm missing you nl)w; my heart is full and my eyes bum from the tears I shed. But I look back on the thing:; that we said or did and laugh about it. All that helps me to realize that even though yo11 are not here in the present, you are still with me in my heart. No one can ever take your place because you will always be my mother-my love-my best friend. I'll always thank God for our time together; it seemed so very short, we still had miles and miles to go. 3ut I saw you getting tired and I always wanted what was best for you so I had to let you go. Mom-I love you-I love you-I love you, my mother-my best friend, I'll see you in the morning.
Your daughter, Suzanne
My Bill Bill, I knew this day Hould come, But I did not know it would be this soon.
For 59 1/2 yeru s we have been together and now I walk alone. I'll al\\ ays remember our good times together
and the times t 1at I know it was God that brought us through. I'll always lm e and miss you, Take your rest in God's time,
I'll st:e you and we'll walk together again. Your loving husband, Arthur
Mom and Grandma Mom, we are goii tg to miss you, you were our backs, glue and nail.
You Here the strength that held us together. You w ~re the one that we could always go to. You were that special ftc 1wer in the garden; God saw you and wanted you in His. So He sent His angels for you and took you away.
We know that you are in a better place. You will 1lways be that special rose in our garden.
We will always love you and miss you! Love you children & grandchildren
Special thanks to Pa1tor Alice Tucker, James Hough, Josephine Ridges, M.F. Scott and the Nathan Temple Church family
