Ann and Paula,
I didn't realize until today that your sweet Mother had passed from this life to receive the reward she so deserved. I was 20 years old when I moved to Mountain Home and she immediately captured my heart with her gentle spirit, wisdom and her sweet smile. She was a mentor to me and always showed me an example of a true Christian woman. I am praying for your peace and comfort as you look back on the good memories and the legacy she left for everyone that knew her.

I will always remember Mr. and Mrs. Baker for being so kind and friendly. They always had time to stop and say hello if we were out in the yard. They lived just up the hill from us.
