Our Mother was a very special lady. Everyone who knew her was impacted by her and will always remember her. To those who asked, she was a source of wisdom, experience, and good advice, since she generally knew just what she thought about things.

To those who knew her well, she was a wonderful, caring person with a heart bigger than her beloved Texas. But to her husband and to her family who loved her most, she was the one who never stopped believing in us and never tired of giving herself for us.

We owe a wealth of love and gratitude to a fine lady, and we will have two examiners to answer for our lives when we finally join her in Heaven-not just God the righteous judge, but our wonderful Mother who still watches us, still believes in us, and who would love to see us succeed as she did. For our own sake, for God’s sake, and for Mother’s sake, let’s not disappoint her!
