Mom’s last writing was in August, 2016 when she wrote the following:
“One day I am going to that city where the roses never fade. Where all I went through growing up, all the heartbreak of tears unending and despair and the feeling of giving up. Then, one day, God called my name. “Dear child of mine, you have labored long enough. Now it’s time you rest. Welcome Home!””
