Dear Meagan, We were so sad to hear about your mom. When a life is taken from us, we reflect back to all the years of memories. To the first meeting,to all the Avon visits,to all her joy as she was rewarded for a job well done and mostly for the wonderful job of being a mom and raising a special daughter. You were the light of her life and she will always be watching over you.With our love and prayers,Sharon,Bill,Brian,Lucy and Kyle
