“The world lost one of its sweetest souls this weekend. You were the best of everything. Mother, wife, sister, Grandmother, Great-Grandmother, Aunt, Godmother, Den Mother and friend. And I can't leave out cook!! Those Christmas cookies and apple pies are famous! You gave nothing but love, worried about and prayed for everyone, and never asked for anything. Now you are on to the next life, back with your best friend. He's been waiting for some of that cooking for a long time. I wish he could have waited a little longer. Tell him all about his granddaughters, and his little great grandson. Love you mom.”
