If I could think of all the wonderful things you \e done, a book could not hold the words. As a
child, you were the last one I saw when I closed my eyes at night and the first one I saw when I
woke in the morning. You worked so hard to give us what we needed even doing without for
yourself. Just like a rose, you were of such beauty inside and out.
Love is the only word that explains how I feel about you. Words or tears cannot describe the
emptiness I feel. So many times you spoke of heaven and said you were ready to go.
The sun has rose and set, but my love for you will always shine for you MY MOTHER, MY
ANGEL, MY SWEETHEART. GOOD NIGHT.
LOVE - Your baby girl, Eva
Full of Christian love My Mother, Full of life and love My Mother
Like the wings of a dove. Flying high in the sky, My Mother.... Fly.
We will always remember you and all the good times we had together.
LOVE - Pinkie and Children

A CKNO WLEDGEMENT
Our hearts are sadden, but we realize that God has looked beyond our earthly desire and fulfilled
His heavenly plan. To those who have shared during the hours of our bereavement and shown
kindness in whatsoever considerations, your calls, visits, messages, giving in abundance of
substances as God has blessed you, and to you who have stood with us in trying hours, we can only
say two of the most important words in the English language to express our gratitude - THANK
YOU and May God Bless you is our prayer.
