I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race
That is from 2 Timothy 4:7 (link), Mema died January 16, 2007. She would have been 90 years old on February 19, 2007.
.
She was buried Saturday, January 20, 2007, in the New Hope Baptist Church Cemetery (link) in Hineston, Louisiana. Her final resting place will be there with her family.
.
Her migration story, coming to Louisiana from Mississippi is on the February 19, 2006, blog (link). She had some more stories, Mrs. Jim and I will compile and post them soon.

Sounds like you had a great time Jim. Lots of good food too. What does Mema stand for? Is it Mom? Is that a southern thing?
Take care xx

One must be early. At least an hour early. It's an elderly rule.

Yes, it must be a Southern thing as it is quite common around here.
That's what her first grandchild called her, the other five followed suit.

Oh Jim I am so sorry and yet she did finish the race and I know won her crown. Jim you are so sweet, I can't help but love you. Tell Mrs Jim she is a lucky person to have you.
