In Loving Memory of my Mother Elizabeth McDaniel, went to be with the Lord July 9, 2002 It takes a Mother God gave me a Mother, in life he gave her to me on a cold December day. As my Mother raised me with Dad by her side. I began to see a Loving caring Mother that God gave to me.
She shared my joys, She shared my pain, She kept me in out of the rain. She made me happy when I was sad and corrected me when I was bad, and now I can honestly say she was the greatest friend and Mother I ever had. God gave me a Mother a wonderful Mother he gave me, and now my Mother sits at the Right Hand of God around a table of Gold. Where the sun is always shining and the cold winds don't blow. In life there's no other can take the place of my dear sweet Mother. Miss you, I love you and always will.
Written by Daughter Connie E Clinton with love to all friends, family and neighbors, sorry I didn't get this in sooner, I deeply appreciate the support, prayers, cards and food and just being there. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and may God bless you all. Connie E Clinton.

When we will never part.
Until that day we meet again.
