Mom was the sweetest, caring and loving mom in the world. She was loved by all
who knew her. As a strong Christian lady, she lived by the Word of God. She
would want all to live their lives according to God's Word, so we can all be
reunited in heaven.
Granny-Billie, as she was affectionately called by her
grandchildren, loved them all so very much, as they also loved and adored her.
Mom was blessed so much to have a wonderful daughter-in-law, Flora, whom she
loved very much. Her son-in-law, Bill was her caregiver this past year and there
was much love between them both. Danny and Fran want to thank their spouses for
their love for their mom.
