The one you know will be there whenever skies are gray, The first to lend a helping hand, the last to turn away-each special thing about her, is so lovely to recall- a mother is a blessing, the most precious one of all. In her cheeks, fair roses you see; God made a wonderful mother; and He gave that mother to me." The family would like to thank Creekwood Assisted Living for the wonderful care provided to their Mother. Winn-Cress Funeral Home assisted with arrangements.
