Two days ago my mother passed away and I've had several of her family and friends talk to me, text me and post things on Facebook and I'd like to share some of the positive things that have been said.

She has been a great supportive mother to me, and one thing I always knew is that she loved me. She was a prayer warrior and prayed for family and friends by name everyday. Her grandchildren said that she incredibly giving and would do anything for family. She always went above and beyond to help those around her. She always made sure you were taken care of whether it was food or something else. If she knew someone had a particular sickness or need she would pray for them till she knew God had helped them.

Nieces and nephews said she was a great loving aunt and that she would be missed. She was well known for her delicious homemade fried peach pies. She was also remembered for her mini pecan pies. She remained 39 for many years and always had mischievous grins and laughs, she's remembered for her phone conversations and also not wanting her picture taken. They have all said that she knew she always loved them. Her and Uncle Marty serving them good meals they would visit them. Her amazing memory and recall of places and events. One of her nieces said that they remember her as a woman of prayer, and that this old world has lost a truly great prayer warrior. The last few years she asked one her nieces to pray that the Lord would take her. This niece told her that as long as she was on earth that she had God's work to do and when she was done God would call her home.

Her friends and neighbors all talked about her being a great friend and wonderful neighbor. They all said that she knew she loved them and they loved her.

The last few years my mom has had to have care givers stay with her some and provide care for her. My mother loved them and felt like they were part of her family. She always included them in her daily prayers. They have all told me how much she meant to them and that they were going to miss her. As her son I have appreciated those who have helped her but the 2 wonderful ladies that have helped her the last two years have gone above and beyond their duties. They treated her like family and she felt loved by them. She told me often that she really loved them.

Finally I want to say that as her son she also asked me to pray that God would take her to heaven. This was a hard thing for me to do but I asked her if this was her hearts desire and she said yes. I told her that I could agree with her that God would give her the desires of her heart. Watching her decline more and more the last few months has been very hard. I started praying like she was that God would send his angels to come take her home. When I was alone with her last Friday she was having some real difficulty breathing. Knowing my mother she didn't want us to hear or see her suffer. I laid hands on her head and I prayed and told Jesus that I was releasing her into His hands and that He could take her home. Going home to heaven was my mothers hearts desire and Friday afternoon she went home to heaven. You will be missed by all of us but some day we will she you again. We were all loved by her and we all loved her.

My cousin who said my mom found her calling as a prayer warrior didn't know the other part of her ministry. She was a witness for Jesus and word and deed. If you came into her house for the first time she made sure you knew Jesus and she led different ones in the sinners prayer, and some of them didn't live long after she led them in prayer. I know that they are now rejoicing with her in heaven along with my dad and other family that has gone on before."
