Thank-you to everyone who expressed their condolences. We have been overwhelmed by the outpour of love that has been shown to our mother. And as far as our Dad goes, words cannot express. My Mom touched so many hearts on a daily basis, and you all meant the world to her, and us in our time of grief. It still hasn't hit home, as we are now in a new phase with our Dad. He has been hospitalized since Friday, the day after her funeral. Stay close and as the Christmas season nears, know that you will all be in our hearts. Please keep us in your prayers, but celebrate every day and go on like it is the first breath you drew. For all of the Grandchildren, Congratulations, for all you did , to make a very horrific day memorable !!!
