'I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me, the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me on that day

A Godly Mother, a faithful wife, and the best  Grandmother (Mama Will).  Heaven has gained a Saint. Farewell till we meet on that golden shore.
