Joquetta Ann (Tanedooah) Redbird

Words seem to fail us when we reflect on our mother's life. We are very fortunate to be her children and what an honor to call her our mom. I feel like it would take a lifetime to write all of the beautiful memories we all share. We would like to share a few of our favorites with you all. I hope they can convey how wonderful of a mother she was.
