This comes to you on the behalf of your "Na Na."
A percious one from you have gone;
a voice you loved is still;
a place is vacant in your heart and in your home that no other can ever fill!

Mike, Maria (Re-Re), and Jennifer,
There are not enough words to describe how angels get their wings. Everyone who knew your mom, knew she had a heart of gold. She was like a second mom to me.
It is hard to believe that when great people come into our lives, how unexpectedly they are taken away. However, when great people, (like Ma) leave, our hearts are temorarily sadden, yet, our hearts are filled with joy forever through the many memories left to cherish. She will be missed. Thoughts and prayers are with you and the entire family.
