You were such a special sister-n-law, it took us awhile before we were close, but you were a remarkable wife, mother, grandmother and aunt. You also have a great family. They say that times a healer but as the time goes on, I seem to find it just as hard to face the fact you’re gone.
You’ll never be forgotten and everyday I shed a tear, but it’s only because I love you and I wish you were still here. Now you’ll be able to breathe in. There won’t be no more pain because there’s none of that in heaven.. I love you so very much ❤️

Mrs. McCredie was such an incredible influence in my life and always held a special place. Her home was my second home for years! She treated me like one if her own. I will miss her beautiful smile and great stories!
