Exine was quite a lady. She could do anything she set her mind to do. Her many talents were seen through quilt making, crochet, knitting, making clothes, sewing beautiful wedding gowns, cooking, gardening and was number one on the list of young mothers needing a baby sitter. You are in my thoughts and prayers Joanie, Judy, and Steve and the rest of Exine's family. She was a treasure.

Praying for the family during this time. To be walking on the streets of glory has to be most wonderful. Your mom was such an inspiration to the many kids that came through her life. The next time we see her will be that glorious reunion day.
