A Little Biography
She was a little girl who turned to be a woman without a care in the world. She flew free all the time. Never once wondering what someone else would be thinking of her. It was always her way or the highway. She always told us all - "When I get my car, I'm gonna go where no one can find me". Then the tears would start rolling in.
She ended up with Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia. The last couple years of her life were the hardest. She took a nasty fall in Edna, Texas around July of 2011. She had to be transported to Houston, Texas. Come to find out she had broke her back. Also we all found out she was not taking any of her medications.
I will say this - she was for sure a fighter. Even on her Angel Day she fought. She knew she made a whole lot of wrongs in her life. I always told her that God would forgive her. I guess what she did not know was - God really needed her to start something else that day.
We believe that because she passed on Easter Sunday - She got her ticket into the gates....See God has a reason for everything, that he does!!
