Momma was/ is the strongest woman I knew/know. She gave her all in every thing she did. She never mixed words and was brutally honest, but always in a caring and loving way. I will miss our late night talks in person. And having her sholder to cry on when I needed it. She loved her grand-babies with every ounce of her being. And always there to lend an ear or advice to them.
