Jim, Karen & Mike I want you to know that you mother was the warmest, kindest, most tender-hearted lady that I know. She always greeted me at church with a warm smile, big, sincere hug, and always a kind word! I know she had been sick for some time, but we were all believing for healing for her! Well, she is healed and she is in that wonderful place of peace and joy! I will never forget that sleep over that we had at your house when you all lived in Amelia! Those were the good ole' days! I learned so much from your momma even way back then. She was a wonderful, Christian lady! I loved her so much! I just recently learned that when she wrapped gifts for her children and grandchildren, she always put a "gold" bow on it, to let them know they were "good as gold"! So starting this year, I have decided to take on Sister Peggy's tradition! Now are my children really "good as gold"? Well, to me they are! I want you to know that things that your momma did, lessons your momma taught, and kindness that she had toward others, will always live on! I love you all, and you will all, Jim, Karen & Barry, Mike & Gayle, and all of the grandchildren will always be in my prayers! The one thing you all need to remember is, you were all Good as Gold to her!
