On behalf of my entire family, thank you to everyone that has left messages with kind words, thoughtful prayers, and wonderful memories. We said our sad goodbyes to my Mom today and now, as was her wish, we will work toward replacing our sorrow with joyful remembrances. God bless you all.

Donnad, Alyson and Family
We can never be separated from those we love... because GOD leaves us with memories to hold and love that doesn't pass away.
And in time, we realize that our loved one lives on-- not only in a home beyond the setting sun but within our hearts.
you will be in our hearts, thoughts and prayers.
Tim, Angie Heywood & Family

Aunt Pat,
I am deeply saddened to hear of your passing. I will forever cherish all the memories that I have with you from the time I was a little girl. I remember always being so excited to hear you and Uncle Tommy talk of your Hawaii and vacation visits. I will miss all of our emails, even the zillions of joke forwards that you used to send :) My inbox just won't be the same without them! I wish I had gotten to say goodbye but I know that you are now in good hands and are with Uncle Tom where you belong. Rest in peace and you will be very missed by all.
Your niece, Kim
