You were good friends with our Mother Dorothy and shared a lot of laughs raising kids. you sold mom a sewing machine that us girls use for many years from the 70’s pantsuits to prom and wedding dresses. I even customized my husbands golf cart at Busch Gardens so he could find it quicker in the back lots. my son still has and uses it. you were an advocate with Mom for the youth at the church and helped with many special events. you were always smiling and loved your sons George and Curtis very much. you and Don were a great couple and now you are together again. we will miss you.

Every phone conversation was a treasure, as are memories of your kindness and cooking. You made me feel welcome and that meant the world. I’m so glad you are a part of my soul. I think your laugh will always be a favorite sound.
