My thoughts and prayers are with you as you mourn the death of your mother/grandmother. Losing a dear family member is such a difficult time. Joyce, although I didn't personally know your mother, if she was anything like you, she was a wonderful person. God bless and keep you all close.

Joyce Gayle, Dad (Bud), Denny and Elaine, I'm so sorry for your loss! I have so many fond memories of holiday visits, family reunions in the park, playing on the school playground, her many pets, her plants and dolls, the hugs and smiles on visits in recent years, even when she was having health and memory challenges. She raised you all to be good and decent people who went on to raise good and loving children. For that and so many other reasons, we'll long cherish her memory. Love Tom,...
