Sorry to hear of your Mom’s death. I loved Ms Mildred. We all grew up together. Your Mom’s house was my second home. We had so much fun. Sweet memories..
You were blessed to to have a Christian Mom. She always had her family in church every time the doors opened.
Just think of how excited she was when she woke up in heaven. I can only imagine:
One day you will see her again and it will be for eternity. Love all of you.

We sure loved Mrs. Mildred and Bro. Don. We ate many meals at their home. She was such a dedicated saint, she loved her family, her church family and her friends dearly. We played domino with her. She was a tough cookie to beat. She is rejoicing with her Savior Jesus Christ now and reunited with her husband. We will pray for the family for comfort during this time of grief. Look to Jesus for your strength and comfort.
