In loving memory of my dear sweet mother who passed away January 6, 1980 Emeline Reed.
Mother, It has been so lonely since God called you away. You didn't get to say goodbye to us. I know that you are out of your suffering but I miss you. No one knows but Jesus how much I miss you , but you won't be forgotten. I can just see your sweet smile and your bright eyes. When I tell you I love you, You would say I love you too. Mother, If I could have kept you at home it would not have hurt me as bad. By the help of God I pray we will meet again in Heaven.
Your loving daughter Evia Conner
