If you ever came to Mom’s house you would always find her hard at work.  She loved working in the yard and garden.  Mom loved her garden and didn’t mind hard work.  She would grow anything she could and didn’t mind giving it away.   The one thing our Mom did that everyone loved and asked for every time they were home was her homemade biscuits and gravy.  They were the best and will be forever missed.
