Words cannot describe who my mother was. You just simply had to know this short, full of life, loved, great cook, independent, hard working, loving, strong, unselfish, giving, loyal, feisty, straight forward, gifted, patient, God fearing, cuddly, soft spoken woman whom I had the pleasure of calling mother. If you ever met her then you know exactly what Iam talking about. To know her is to love her. To have met her you would never forget her. If you ever had the pleasure of tasting her cooking then you ate with her all the time. And if you ever had the time to talk with her then you couldn't stop laughing. My mother taught me everything I know. She taught me to be this great, creative, loving, hard working mother I am today, however she never prepared me for the times when I would miss her and that I do every single day.But to God be the glory I was then and still today truly blessed to have had her in my life for 41 years and truly I am thankful.
