We will always remember your mother as the neighbor across the street with the giant heart- welcoming everyone who needed someone to lean on. With our mother’s recent passing our family took great strength from the support of all those who offered kind words of support. May you find the same comfort with plenty of memories to share and much laughter amidst all the tears.
