so much, I just wish she could still be with all of us here today and be here every other day. But she’s in a better place now.
She will always be remembered as a loving mother, friend and wife. I will always remember her as a great wife and brilliant mother to my children. I think most people will remember her as the girl who was killed in the lottery. Which is sadly part of her life story, but I will always remember her as my loving Tessie. Tessie accomplished very much in her lifetime. The three biggest accomplishments she completed was being a doctor, a youth group minister, and a great wife and mom. The first thing I mentioned was her being a doctor, from the age of thirty to forty five tessie was our town's doctor. Treating the ill with knowledge and love she saved many townspeople's lives. She touched the hearts of many young children and teens by being our town’s youth minister. She brought many young souls closer to God including mine. The way I will remember her the most and my children will was how good she was to her family. We were truly blessed to have such an amazing person in our family. All of here were so fortunate to know, Tessie. Tessie and I have many memories together but, my favorite one occurred about twenty years ago. It was when we brought home my son Ollie from the
hospital. She was so excited, like a kid on christmas morning. She had a huge grin that couldn’t come off her face. Everytime she looked at her little bad wrapped in a blue blanket, she a smile appeared on her face. She was ecstatic to have her own baby. She loved you all very much. Sadly, Tessie is no longer with us, but she loves all of us and doesn’t want us to be sad.
