Wonderful service tonight. I have the fondest memories of your mom dating all the way back to our high school days. Her always trying to get me to eat, even if we just came from lunch or dinner. Always having the biggest hugs, always having the biggest smile, always so excited to see me and always treating me like one of her kids. Your mom was an incredible person, hold on to those wonderful memories... Van Jackson
