Our dear, sweet Momma has gone to be with her Maker. We loved her more than can be expressed in words. She was strong, faithful, loving, smart, beautiful, funny and absolutely squeezed all that she could out of life here on earth. We are happy that she is no longer suffering but are already missing her so very much. Rest in peace Granny Lou, the angels are rejoicing!
