A truly wonderful lady in all ways. Never an unkind word to me and always a smile when I came around. She gave my family a truly wonderful gift , that of making my own grandmother feel welcome and loved in her final years. Hopefully they are sitting up there enjoying each others company and keeping an eye on the rest of us. Thanks for loving us all.

While we have lost an amazingly wonderful Lady, Sister, Mother, Grandmother and Aunt, we have gained a loving Angel to keep a watchful eye over all of us.
Healing Blessings to you all.
