Mike and I are deeply saddened on the loss of such a great lady. We know her wish was to go to God each year of her later years. She was a wonderful woman and I had the privilege of visiting with her every few months for the past couple of years. We were so sad to have missed the funeral, as we only found out about it today. I know she is happy in heaven with her parents, Uncle Jim and all her brothers. Special love to all my cousins and their children on this loss.
