To live 95 years is evidence of living pleasing to God. I was blessed to be a part of her life and thankful for all the good years we had together. I always loved Her! I can only imagine how wonderful it was when the gates opened and Meemaw looked into the face of her Father and creator! I look forward to the reunion we will all have someday! To the rest of the family who have been closest to her through the years I pray for your comfort and send my love!
