Our Mom was the most giving and loving lady that ever walked with us. She was the kind of mom who would never lay her head down at night unless she knew her babies were taken care of. Them grandbabies all 6, she loved them babies more than life itself. Reef, Hannah, Ryelynn, Creed, Avri & Jensen, never walk a day not knowing your kiddos were her greatest accomplishments. Mom told me on many occasions that they were right. I responded by asking “who is they?” To answer me she said the ones that say if you could have skipped the kids and just had the grandkids they would. She had laughter in her and when you got to experience it you never forgot it. To meet her was a smile brought to your face, as her grin was so radiant. Mom was a carer of all, anyone she met she would hug. Not one of us ever walked this earth perfectly, and she stumbled as we all have, and we will continue to do. From here on out there are no stones in her path, its streets of Gold and at the right hand of her father in heaven. I can’t even imagine how many stones are in her crown in heaven as she lived so modestly and humbly giving everything, she worked for to others to help spread the love of Jesus. The greatest of all the commandments is Love and Mom took that to heart. We will carry her spirit with us knowing she has made it to the finish line in glory.
To know that them knees and back are healed, and she is on a golden basketball court brings a smile to my face and peace to my heart.
My sister and I would like to thank each and every one of you for all the love given to us during these past few days.
Whitney & D.J.
