From the Family:
We are all thankful for the thoughts and prayers this past week while she was in the hospital. Also, thankful that She had a great week being crowned Queen of Anderson's Mardi Gras festivities. She did a lot of laughing and dancing. She was a wonderful Mother, Grandmother, Great-Grandmother, Cousin and Friend to many. She always told us about one of her favorite teachers in school a History Teacher and an Irish saying he wrote to her. I think below is the correct one.
May The Road Rise Up To Meet You
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields
and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
