There are not enough words to fully explain what our Mama meant to us. Our Mama married our Daddy on April 13, 1945. it was Friday the 13th. It brought much good luck to them, because they were married 59 years. They were inseparable. A part of Mama died the day Daddy did. She was never truly happy again. We know he was there to welcome her home. I can hear him now saying hi Mama! Come go with me.
Mama bore 6 children, but mothered many more. Sometimes it was a child that needed a bed and a meal for a night. Sometimes it was for longer. No child was ever turned away from her table or her heart. She always told us kids that she loved us all the same and that she had no favorites, but she treated us all like we were her favorite.
She wanted to be a school teacher, but never received a formal education; but she was one of the smartest women you will ever meet.
She never thought she was talented, but her talents were unlimited. She made the best bread in town. The neighborhood kids would come to our house for homemade bread and butter. Sometimes there wasn't enough left for our supper, but Mama always shared. She was beautiful, but never knew she was.
She was modest, she was honest. She would have starved before she would have ever stolen a dime. She was loyal and faithful. She would have fought anyone for us kids.
Her favorite color was purple. When she saw something purple she would say, "Oh ain't that purty!" She loved sweets. She always ate her dessert first.
She once drove a race car in Powder Puff Derby. She was a ruthless croquet player.
What Mama meant to us was the smell of breakfast in the morning, her face at every game and performance regardless how big or small. Her sneaking to put Christmas presents under the tree, even though we were all grown. Her holding her grandbabies and telling them they were the prettiest babies ever. Her, combing Daddy's hair in the morning. She loved to sing and she loved to dance with our Daddy. She had a beautiful singing voice. In her younger days it was country and bluegrass. Her later years were dedicated to church. When Mama sang the angels listened.
That little house on the hill where Mama and Daddy lived and loved would not be a mansion in many people's eyes, but it was a mansion in our hearts. The only thing that makes the pain bearable, is knowing, she is singing in Heaven's choir and dancing on the streets of gold with our Daddy.
