The family would like to express a special thanks to all the friends for all their Love and Care during her illness. Special thanks to her sisters, Dorothy and Edith; and to Nancy Newsom for all the many hours they gave our Sweet Sweet Mother.

God saw she was getting tired. And a cure was not to be. So he put his arms around her and whispered, "Come with Me." With tearful eyes we watched her suffer and saw her fade away. Although we loved her dearly, we could not make her stay. A golden loving heart stopped beating, hard working hands to rest. God broke our hearts to prove, He only takes the very Best. May her memory be eternal .author unknown.
