Life story

Stacey Lawson :

Mom was a beautiful person on the inside and out. She never knew a stranger and was always talking to everyone she would come in contact with.She was very loving, she had a lot of courage, and an over comer of many different kinds of hardships all throughout her life. She taught me to persevere even through the toughest of times. She was a good and devoted mom even though she could be a little hard headed.

I miss her like crazy but am blessed to know I’ll see her again in Heaven. She will be there to greet me

Amy Smith :

It’s so hard to put into words everything my Mom means to me. She was beautiful, loving, nurturing, devoted, courageous, determined and sometimes stubborn 😁, sweet, patient, fun-to-be-around, and kind. Everyone who knew her loved and adored her, including her family. Growing up, she was my security and comfort, protector, and guide. Because of her faith and guidance, I met Jesus and fell in love with Him and will forever be grateful for her example. Words can’t express how much I love and miss her. I thank God for each day on earth and cherish time with my loved ones, but can’t help looking forward to heaven when I’ll see her again. Love you Mom!

Kenny Jamison :

Mom, to me, was the strongest, sweetest woman I've ever known. I didn't realize the magnitude of what an amazing mom and person she was until she left this earth, and I had time to reflect on the life I was able to share with her. Everything I have good in me came from her.
