Alberta will be a cherished memory for me. I was too old to need a mother figure in my life, but, nevertheless she was that for me. When we met I was in my early 40’s and a broken person.I was on drugs and in a very abusive relationship. She prayed for me and loved me like Jesus wants us to do. I came to live with her a few years later minus the drugs and the 10 year abuser. I’m going to remember the sometimes hysterical moments that I shared with both of the twins. And with all of the things going on with me or them the happy things are what has always been what stands out. I love her and I know that I always will. I knew that she loved me. She taught me soon much about love and forgiveness and I pray that I find find you in heaven. Until then I will do my best to keep trying to be the best woman God wants me to be. I have had some slips and struggles but Jesus isn’t finished with me thankfully. Rest in peace beautiful friend!!!
