Remembering her in peace always

Mom's life of more than 100 years was packed with events that could more than fill a book. She could not only clean the boards in a room better than anyone, she could also dominate the people in a board room better than anyone. The word "entrepreneur" must have been created to describe her presence in the world. Most of all, her love for and interest in people as human beings will be the most memorable of all her qualities. I can see her in heaven now: Resting in the center of a three piece pink sectional sofa, surrounded by all the thousands of children she touched during her life, oh and a couple of dogs and cats also, watching us go through our daily activities and providing guidance and approval in her own unique style. God bless you Mom.... Your son, Donald

May Aunt Vi have eternal peace and joy with our loving God. She was a woman of deep faith and a hard worker. She was a very determined woman who loved her family and was very proud of each of them. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.
