Mom,
You were one special lady and an amazing Mom. I'm having trouble picturing my life without you...but I know you would want me to be a happy girl, and I'm trying! I have lots of beautiful memories to help me through this tough time and I thank you for all of them. My heart is very heavy and I miss you so much. I hope you are dancing with Dad along with the angels. I LOVE you, Mom!

The Mullins Family
40 plus years ago God blessed me with letting me become part of the Mullins "clan". How she will be missed - but remember she will always be thinking of us, as we of her. I loved being the "adopted daughter". I was only 36 when I lost my mother and I still needed a mother, and she was always there giving me her love and her strength. I'll never forget all the great times and laughs we had at the Lamplighter, trips to the beach, Columbus Day trips, Mary's pool - I can keep going but I don't know how much space they give you in this book! You are all in my thoughts, my heart and my prayers. Love Joyce
