Her daughter Linda Stewart and her bonded watching football in her later years and Linda would like to say “Go Gators! “I love you mom”!! Linda S.This is from her son Jimmy Stewart –“Mom, you were the kind of Mom that every kid wish they had. All my friends liked you, and you taught me the difference between right and wrong, always be kind to others, and not to be judgmental. You worked hard raising five children, and we never missed a great warm meal. (Nobody makes meatloaf like you). No matter how hard you worked, you managed to make yourself beautiful. Even your last days on earth, you made sure your hair looked perfect and had your make up on. Thank you for always attending and encouraging whatever sport I was doing at the time, especially teaching me to bowl as a young child, and letting me bowl on your team up until a few years ago. I know when I hear lightening now, it will you throwing a strike in heaven. I love you Mom, and you will always be in my heart. Love, Jimmy S.”I lived with my mom for 20 years. Our home is so empty now but I know she is here with me and Oreo and we miss her so much. I took care of her when she got sick. I just think the Lord that I had the time to spend with her. Just the little things that we did and shared together meant the world to me. I just wanna make her proud. She was the best mother in the world and she was also my best friend. I hope they have scratch off tickets that are winners in heaven mom! I Love you, always and forever Jeanine S.All of us loved her so much.
