Dear Mom,
We will always remember the good times with you and how much you loved and cared for so many. Your crafts, your love for Jesus and singing worship songs at church. Alzheimers is a terrible disease, and it took you away from us way too soon. We rejoice in knowing you are with our Heavenly Father, singing praises continually in his choir of angels! Much love and admiration, Rodney & Tanya Ison
