Kerry and Family, Your Mom will be missed deeply. I'm sure she was a wonderful lady, she raised you to be the strong lady you are today. Her strength through you will be passed down from your children to their children. Your Mom will live in all the hearts that she has touched. Keep her memories alive.

We are so very sorry for your loss of your mom (grandmother and sister). Although we only spent a little time with her, her warmth, smile, kindness and laughter would fill the room. The loss of a parent can never be replaced but her beautiful ways are in each and everyone of you and that is a wonderful legacy. She truly loved all of her children and grandchilren. We understand your pain and pray that you can heal in time. All our love...Gary and Charlene
