Our Momma always had a positive attitude. She loved to laugh and was a jolly person. She loved to quilt and most of all work her puzzle books. Momma knew no strangers. She would talk to you as if she knew you all her life. She had a heart of gold if you took the time to see her. She loved to talk if you took the time to listen. And if you only took the time you would have had a great friend forever. Momma always said, “When it’s my time to go, I’m going.” And The Good Lord listened and took her home.
