i'll health for more than three years,
and all had been done for her that
faithful physicians and loving hands
could do All knew that there was
no hope for her recovery, but no
one realized that the end was so
near.

mother. She was faithful to her
friends and loyal to her church and
pastor.
She leaves an aged mother, foul
brothers, four sisters, a heart broken
husband, two daughters and a little
