Ma -
I loved your simplicity, I loved your humility and your generosity. I loved the example you set for your children and all those around you.I loved the way you loved and protected your family. Most of all I loved that you were my Mom and that you loved me. Every time we spoke you ended the conversation with "I love you and I miss you". My heart is aching because, I love you and I miss you. God Bless.

Mary,
Although I didn't know your Mom, she must have been a wonderful person to have raised you and instilled in you such admirable qualities. I know that you will miss her but I'm sure you have many memories that will make you laugh, cry and shake your head and be a comfort everyday to you and your family. Sorry I can't be there in person but know that I'm thinking of you and praying for your peace. Love you, Becky

Larry, Louise and Mary,
Your Mom was a very special woman, but you three know that better than anyone!! She'll surely be missed but take comfort in knowing that she is now home with your Dad.
God bless you Aunt Sissy.
