Billy,Jimmy, Mary & Matt,
Your mother was one of the "GREATEST" women we ever had the privilege of calling a true friend. She was always there to listen and give her support. The many holidays that we spent together will not be forgotten nor her love for life and her sense of humor. As she always said it's five o'clock somewhere lets start our happy hour. So with that said have a martini in her honor. Mrs. "P" you will never be forgotten. Love You. Bob & Ruth
