I miss you mom and will always remember our special times of laughter and of tears. It gives me peace to know you are with dad now and nothing else can hurt you. Watch over me and protect me. I love you mom.

To Pamm, Doni and Ray,
I just learned of your Mom’s passing. I have moved to S.C. and don’t hear much news up here. I am so sorry for your loss. Your Mom was one of the greatest ladies I have known and loved her very much.
