Her love is the kind that will always be a part of God’s beautiful plan, to make you feel cherished and special as only a Mother and Grandmother can. She taught us how to love, how to give, and how to live. Her love was the thread that held our family together. Heaven gained an angel on that early Easter morning but we all lost a very big piece of our hearts.

“But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength; they will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint.” Isaiah 40:31

“She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. She speaks with wisdom and faithful instruction is on her tongue. She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also and he praises her.” Proverbs 31:25-28

A Celebration of Life is being planned and will be announced.

The Fawcett Oliver Glass and Palmer Funeral Home are honored to serve the Dailey Family.
