Mom, you’ve taught us that a little bit of kindness goes a long way and a lot of kindness can change lives. That some of our best lessons can be learned from our mistakes, that the sooner we forgive the happier we’ll be. That the right choice isn’t always the easiest, but is worth the effort. That you can never run out of ways to let people know you love them, and that a good family is a great gift from God. Thank you for teaching us the most important things in life by the way you lived yours. A Graveside Service will be held 12pm Tuesday, June 29, 2021 at Mt. Moriah AME Church Cemetery Surry, Va. Viewing will take place from 4-6pm on Monday, June 28, 2021 at Shivers Funeral Chapel. Please Keep the Savedge family in your thoughts and prayers.
