God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered "Come with me." With tearful eyes we watched you suffer and saw you fade away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best. Mama, you showed us how to love and we will continue to do this to your legacy.
There will be no visitation at the funeral home.
Arrangements are by Heritage Funeral Home, East Brainerd Road, Chattanooga, TN.
