Wife, Mother, Grandma, and Great Grandma. She was everything to us. My mother could do everything. She was dads right hand for God, family, church, work. She stood beside dad for better or worse. Mom and dad had the strongest marriage of anyone I have ever seen. It would have been 70 years on Jan 30, 2016. Mom would have been 89 on her birthday Dec 10,2015. Dad & mom kept us a close net family. Momma was a very strong woman. God bless her. We love you mom.
