We will deeply miss our “Precious Momma Bird” with her sweet, gentle smile and sharing the love of Jesus in her heart with those around her. She was deeply devoted to our dad especially caring for him in his old age, teaching us about Jesus and saying prayers at night while kissing our foreheads with a blessing of “Sleep with God’s Angels” was very important to her. Mom gave of her time and talents by knitting mittens, sweaters, slippers, etc., cooking delicious stuffed peppers and yummy donuts, sewing quilts plus embroidering and crocheting beautiful pieces for our family. She was very artistic and especially loved creating watercolor cards for her great grandchildren and family.
