Please accept our sincerely condolences during this difficult time in your lives. Your Mother was not just a neighbor but a close friend. There was no age between us. We would laugh together. We would cry together and the many escapades when I would tell her "we're breaking out of the home". Once we wound up lost in the desert with the wind blowing. I want to thank you for your prayers that you always said for your Mother as they truly protected us and we would make it safely home. Now she has made it safely home. Sleep with the angels Lou... until we meet again.
I loved her and I know how much she loved you all. May the memories you have of your Mother always stay in your heart. She was the best. She loved you more than she loved herself. She didn't want riches and wealth only cherished time with her family. She knew what was important in life. Only family and love. She has left an imprint on this place called Earth which is merely our temporary home. She found goodness in everyone. A part of her will always live on. We too can be like my friend Lou and be just a little bit kinder with her infectious laugh and smile. God bless you all.
(Poor) James and Carol Tuttle.
