Our dear Mother went home to Glory this morning. We are rejoicing she is whole again and in the arms of Jesus. She lived a life serving our Lord, teaching her children to walk with Him. Her service didn’t stop there; she cared for our developmentally-disabled brother and sister. She was involved in Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, Church Bible Drills, visitation (even at 20 degree weather) in Indiana. She volunteered at Mary Margaret Health in Batesville. She worked teaching people how to make countless baskets in Tennessee, Bell Buckle and Indiana. She brought so many covered-dishes to the potlucks at church – well she had to with 6 kids LOL. She taught us all so much. We are forever grateful for the Mom we had. We love you, Mom.
