Karen,
I don't know if you will remember me, but I was your Mother's trust officer. I was so fond of her and we had many enjoyable times together. She was a delightful person and had a great heart. I am sure she is a shining light in Heaven. Bless you and your family.

Karen and family--Sad to hear of your Mom's death. She was a phenomenal woman who loved and lived life with passion and joy. I enjoyed many wonderful moments with her and especially rejoiced as she was received into the Church. I will remember her at the Holy Mass. I think God will send her to the Key West part of heaven! My prayers are with you.

Karen and David -- I have the BEST memories of your mom! Our days of playing outside and going to "Hunts" !! Those were the days. French fries with tarter sauce and milk shakes! AND your great g-mas pies!! We would play outside until dark and have the most fun! She was always so upbeat and fun to see for years! She loved you with all her heart, that was for sure. I'll never forget her :) Cindy Gilfert Rockhold
