“Caring and sweet with heels on her feet.

Always dressed to the nines, but never on time.

A baker, home maker and cook.

Always reading scripture from her favorite book.

Words of encouragement came from her lips.

Going to the beach was her favorite trip.

A grandma to eight as of this date.

With Jesus in her heart she had no room for hate.

Never left the house without rouge on her cheek.

Her hair always looking ever so sleek.

A daughter, wife, sister, grandma, and friend,

The love that we shared will never end.

A true best friend as the years went by.

Forever in our hearts, MOM, you beautiful butterfly.”
