You would say: “there she is”. You mothered us all, because you were all we had to call family after our mom your sister and our dad passed so long ago and everyone forgot about us. You were the perfect example of a dutiful daughter, sister, mother and grandparent. You liked to describe yourself as ‘still sassy”. You are the most accomplished woman I have ever known; we looked up to you. You were so loved. We will miss you, though we are also happy you have the well-deserved peace you have now. Take your rest now! We can still look up towards the heavens to you! - Nieces Lisa Turner Mose and Robin Turner.
