“ Mom was an original. She was so vivacious and never met a stranger. She was a loving mother and taught me real life often by saying 'Life is not fair' when I would complain about woes. She also taught me about our heavenly father, Jehovah, and his almighty son, Christ Jesus'. She was a zealous preacher. She help so many people. She was loved overwhelmingly. I had no idea how much until now. She was gracious and a hostess to so many family and friends. She enjoyed having guests for meals where sometimes we would have close to 20 people! I loved Mom so much as also my husband Darryl of 27 years who she called her second son. Our firstborn Zachary and daughter Savannah as well as my brothers children were her joy. I can't imagine life without her. At least we have the hope of seeing her again. Thank you all for your condolences. ”
