She was an unselfish mother who gave of her love, time and compassion without end. She was a “maw-maw” who cherished her grandbabies and spoiled them beyond belief. She was a sister who was always there when you needed her. She was a neighbor anyone would have loved to have. She was a Christian whom the Lord welcomed home.
