Her family was her greatest joy. She loved to go for rides to see the mountain and other sights. She never knew where Ken was going to take her or if they would make it home. They spent 21 winters in Dade City, Florida, where they loved to play cards. They would come home and continue to play cards with their friends.

Offering my deepest sympathy at this time. "The span of our life is 70 years,
Or 80 if one is especially strong."
May you find comfort in knowing that suffering and death will end here on earth.
~Ps. 37:10,11
