The members of the Saint Louis Chapter of Clipped Wings will miss one of the founding members of our chapter. There have been so many stories about her great sense of humor. It was a beautiful service for a beautiful woman.

Prayers to the whole family. I am so sorry to hear about your mom's passing. She was quite a lady. Remember having two lunches (one at home and one at our house). Guess you were getting extra calories knowing you would have to wait until 8pm for some exotic Chinese dinner your mom was making. She always threw an awesome birthday party for you - games, great food and lots of silliness. And how your dad would make her mad without even trying! The boat in the garage or his pants to low on his hips! She will be missed by all. Who else in this world had her wit!?
