We loved you so much but God loved you more. He called you home, gave you a white robe and a crown, and told you well done my good and faithful servant. Until we meet again, rest in his arms. Mom we could go in about your wondrous traits and attributes, but we will sum it up by saying, "We thank God for letting was be born to a wonderful Mother like you". Rest now Mom. We know you are at peace now with your Husband and other family members that are in glory. Thru the Grace of God, you have won the battle. While we know that we will miss your presence, you will always live on in our hearts. Our souls are at peace. "WE LOVE YOU MOM" Irving III, Darlene, JoAnn, Barry, Pamela, Ethel, Barbara, William
