She passed all these traits to her three daughters in hopes for their own happy independent life, trust in God, never ask Him why and that He will never put too much on you that you can’t handle for he will carry you through and to take pride in sewing, canning, cooking, loving your children as the foundation she laid will forever keep growing in our lives. She was the best Mom, Mother and Mommy. We were Blessed to have the best friend, teacher, mentor. We know you are no longer in pain. Our hearts are happy for that, but broken you have left us. You are in God’s arms now and with the rest of your loved ones.
