...Before you go...

Before you go there are somethings I want you to know. You have inspired me! You have taught me so many things over the years. You have loved me and accepted me and forgiven me over the years and for that I will always be grateful. You have been a woman of joy and grace, a woman that has lived out faith before me.

You loved my kids and started for first 3 of them out on their first Bible Stories. I think their love for Jesus may very well have started setting at your feet in Sunday School.

Because of you I can make apple butter, jelly, canned tomatoes, canned green beans and can even short of make a baby quilt now.

I'll always remember you when Scott gets stressed and says, "Well Sugar", or when my grand kids ask for a cookie from the cookie jar and when I think of heaven.

I pray in these last days and hours you know just how loved you and the legacy of love and godliness you leave behind in each of us.

I just had to say it before you go. I love you Maw maw

Beautifully said Lori. Zola is truly an amazing woman that always has lived for God. As you said she lived it. She was a good example for all of us. I love her and have apreciated having her as a dear friend in my life.
