Children (Mom’s Branches)

Ruthie for 68 years I was blessed to have a mother like you. At one point you were my mother and father. I remember when I
was little, we use to play Cowboys and Indians and you brought my first toy cowboy set. I could always count on you to play
with me. As I got older you were the reason why I wanted to play Baseball. You are what a mother should be that's why I
decided to create my own acronym of M.O.T.H.E.R. M for you were always magnificent. O is for being One of a kind. T is for
being thoughtful. H is for being helpful. E is for being an encourager. R is for being respectful. I'm going to miss you. Thank
you for being a strong woman always protecting your family. Love your son Don

Dear Mom,

You will be missed. You welcomed me in into the family with open arms and support. You were an amazing mother, grand-
mother and friend. I want to dedicate a poem to you that expresses how I feel:
“Until we meet again”
A light from our lives has gone

A voice we loved is still
A place is vacant within our hears
Which can never be filled

A bouquet of beautiful memories
Sprayed with millions of tears
I wish God could have spared you
If just for a few more years

We hold you close within our hearts
And there you will remain
To walk with us though out our lives
Until we meet again

So rest in peace dear love one
And thanks for all you’ve done
We pray that God has given you
The crown you’ve truly won
Love, Donnie and Essie

Mom,
Because of your faith I've learned to lean on God's word. Because of your generosity I've learned to give of my time. Because of
your patience I've learned to be a better listener. Because of your tenacity I've learned to stay the course. Because of your
compassion and love for others I've learned to be caring. Because of your selfishness I've learned to help those in need. All
that I've learned has helped me become who I am, and I am who I am BECAUSE OF YOU!! Love you, Faye
