A Tribute to Our Mom

Mom, you have been the strength behind every step we've taken. You taught us how to move through the world with kindness, courage and grace-even on the days when it felt impossible. Your love has shaped us more deeply than words can say.

You were the steady voice that calmed life's storms, the gentle hands that lifted others up, and the heart that never stopped giving. You showed us what resilience looks like, not through grand speeches, but through the way you lived-honestly, selflessly, and with a compassion that seemed endless. We are who we are because of you-your love for Dad, for us, and your Christian example of service shaped our lives and families in a profound way.

Thank you for every sacrifice no one saw, every encouragement you whispered, every moment you chose to show up. Thank you for believing in us before we knew how to believe in ourselves.

We honor you today and every day-not just for all that you've done, but for who you are. You are loved more than you know, appreciated more than words can hold, and cherished beyond measure.

Your 4 Kids,

Doyle, Judy, Jimmy and Jeffery
