My mom passed on July 23 at the age of 84, surrounded by her loved ones after two months of hospice care at home. She fought to the end and is now at peace which is a blessing. I am fortunate to have had a mother who was a tower of strength and grace throughout her life, a true Southern Lady. It was an honor to have known such a great lady and I/we will truly miss her. Losing someone we love is never easy, but knowing that we have been able to be a part of and shared life with her, we can realize that we are blessed, Mom, for everything you’ve done for us in life, we owe you our eternal love and the promise we will never forget you. May God grant you peace and the well deserved rest.
