I will miss you dear friend... your laugh and kindness to me and my family ....and your cooking you would send over to us.

You raised a loving and caring family you can be proud of. My sympathy goes out to them all... they were like a second family to us. We sit many times and speak of all the fun times we had together. God Bless !!
