She was a loving a given mom. I remember her always giving her daughters things even though they were okay. I remember her always telling My Ms.Deanna to fix her shirts or you will see her doing it for her. I remember her telling her daughters how to cook something...but wanted it done the way she wanted it. She loved her grandchildren and spoke of them all the time. She was a proud momma. I will miss her trying to give me things every time I seen her like I was her child. She will be missed.
