Momma loved gardening and always surrounded herself with beautiful flowers. She enjoyed going to yard sales and was a collector of everything. She found joy in attending her home church Franklin Creek Baptist. Her greatest joy however was spending time with her family and friends.
One scripture that gave her comfort; John 14,1-4. Although mama lived a humble life she is now living now living in a glorious mansion and waiting for us her family and friends to join her.
