Momma was the kindest woman you could have ever asked for. All my memories of her were all from the salvation army time. She was always involved in all of us kids events ie: girl guards, cub scouts, boy scouts, VBS, ringing the bell during Christmas season and just always there. She will be truly missed on this earth but we know she’s in a better place. Love you momma say high to all our friends up there and till we meet again. 💞
