She fought bravely and without complaint, for 4 years. She loved children, in general...and adored her grandsons, most especially, her great grandson, Ethan. She loved her friends and neighbors, politics, food, MU sports, and laughter. She fiercely loved her family and God. She was kind, generous, and funny. We miss her now, and will from now on. I found a little card yesterday at her house while she was still here, and it said: "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry a heavy burden and I will give you rest." Matthew 12:28. I guess it was there for a reason. Love you, Mom. Visitation will be from 10:30 until 11:00 AM Friday at the cemetery. Chapman's Mortuary Huntington is assisting the family.
