    Mom will be missed, she stayed with me and my wife(Darlene). It will not be the same without mom in our lives. We would sit up and watch movies and eat cheddar popcorn. Mom talked about her children and grandchildren all the time. Our hearts are broken but mom would want us to be strong . Mom loved old country songs and would stay up and watch the Grand Ole Opry on Saturday nights. Mom loved to watch Poka on Saturday nights. She loved Klondike unicorn ice cream , she always left the chocolate ones for Darlene. Thank you to Life Care Hospice home care, it was a lot easier to care for mom with the nurses, aides and everyone else that helped us. Thank you to Life Care Hospice, for taking great care of mom while she was at their facility. Thanks to Mary Kathyrn Clewis, for coming and helping when we needed a helping hand, mom was so glad when Anthony found you. Anthony Clewis,, Jr. for visiting almost every day. Mom loved her great grandchild (Harper) and would always say she is a ball of energy and how much she cared for her. Love yall ,
