Lauren,
There are no words that can express our sincere sympathy on the loss of your Mother. I think of the song we sing in choir that says " I am the rock when you need a place of refuge, a hand reaching out when you stumble and you fall. " The Lord will always be there for you. His word provides comfort and strength. Stay strong and may God bless and keep you and your family during this time of sorrow.

Leilani ,
Until we meet again May God hold you in the palm of his hand . Over the years we have had a lot of laughs . You loved tide & cream soda but most of all and most important your children and grandchildren ..I remember when the kids would open their Christmas gifts you were just as excited as they were . According to the kids no one could make spaghetti as good as their MOM !!! When Lauren went to visit my sister in Calfornia you cried when she left and cried when she came home .Alway with your arms out to hug and welcome her back .
Children hold on to all your memories ,love each other , talk and share stories this way your Mom will never be forgotten and live on in your hearts . My prayers are with you .
Linda , you are a good sister and a wonderful aunt . I am sorry for your loss . My heart goes out to all of you . God's peace be with you
Love , Aunt Aimee and Uncle Dale

Lauren ,Patrick , Adam , Valerie,and Wendie ,
May happy memories bring you comfort . Your mother loved all of you very much . I will never forget the first time the three girls slept over our house . .Your mother must have called 26 times to check on you and say goodnight . Her children were her life. She will live on in each of you .
Sorry , I am out of town for a few days so I will not see you at the service . However you are in my thoughts and prayers .
,,,,,,,,,,,,Love , Uncle Dale
