Jeff and Chris Marie, I loved your mother. She was such an inspiration to me especially in later years. Her pickles still leave my mouth watering and because of her I took up knitting, although I could never get to her level. I still remember her laugh and her easy manner. I miss her. Silly me, I just looked her up to see if she was still alive only to discover a condolence window.
My love to you both

I'm praying for you and your family, Chris. I'll never forget your mom opening her home to me when I was a young teenager. It made a difference in my life. Love you, girl.
