Thank you to all family and friends who cooked, paid respects, spoke, sang, said prayers and uplifted the family.
Levina was the most heartfelt, selfless mother/grandma with the strength of an ox…and then some! We love you so very much and miss you more than words can describe. We are comforted, however, in knowing that you have no more worries, no more pain, no more suffering, no more doctor visits, no more hospitalizations and no more surgeries. We also know what a joyous time you are having with daddy/grandpa. I know you finally get to gather some vegetables with him and eat what you want. Gracie and J.T. will always have an angel looking after them just as they did when you were on this Earth.
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
Love you momma/grandma, Mike, Angie, Darrell, J.T. and Gracie
