To All that attended the Services, sent flowers or Prayed for Mom:
I’d just like to thank each of you for your contributions to memorialize Mom. For those that didn’t know Mom personally, she was the sweetest, most humble, kindest, nicest and most generous person possible. Mom suffered the last couple years but she is back with Dad, her Mom and Father, and her Beloved Brother and Sisters. We Love You, Mom.
