Love you mom. Until we meet again!!!
I love you Momma. I can only imagine how beautiful Heaven is, but I know when you entered Heaven sparkled a little more. I will miss, till we meet again.
Fretta was not only my mother-in-law for fifty years, but she was also, and more importantly, a sister in Christ. I can only feel joy that she is now rid of this world’s pains and sorrows, and will be eternally with our Father in heaven, and our Saviour Jesus! We will see you at the Rapture, Fretta!
I’m at a loss for words. My heart breaks for all the friends and loved ones. Fretta was such a beautiful, generous, loving spirit. She was definitely one of a kind and will be greatly missed. It gives me comfort to know that she is with loved ones and her Maker. Heaven has gained a truly special angel. Praying for peace and comfort.
Grandma, for everything you were and everything you will always be I thank you. You have brought so much to not only my life but to so many others around you. You have a smile that could touch anyone’s heart and that could light up any room. You were always there offering words of wisdom and inspiration. You will be greatly miss. I love you to heaven and beyond. I know it will only be a blink of an eye and I will get to see you again.
Mom. You were my life I don’t know what I will do now. You gave me so much as an example to live. I will cherish all the memories that we had. You were my inspiration. I love you with all my heart. Thank you for being my mother.
Tammy, this is Thelma. Your mother was truly one of the most beautiful angels GOD ever shared on earth. My memories of her have always stayed in my heart. Sundays at church, Sunday suppers, the gardens and her sweet voice singing church hymns. I believe this lovely lady is leading choirs in heaven. Her influence has always stayed with me. My prayers and love with you and your family.
God has. Chosen a new rose for his garden.may the sunshine of love surrond you as your favorite butterflies flitters around with all the loved ones waiting for all of us to join you and Uncle Troy in God’s Heavenly place he has prepared for us.
