I will miss these precious times on the porch! Watching her and Mike dancing on the porch! She always called me her best friend! She was truly my best friend too! She was truly an example of a Godly women! I want to live my life loving the Lord and my family like she did. It was an honor to call her my mother-in-law (MOM).
