Dear Dot, Janet, & Family,
I was so very sorry to read of your mother's passing. We were so fortunate to have had such wonderful mothers. She will be with you always; watching over you, guiding you and loving you completely until you meet again....and oh what a wonderful reunion it will be.
My deepest sympathy with love & Angel blessings to you all,

The most fun-loving, caring, warm hearted, generous, optimistic, supportive woman I have ever known ...that's my Mom! I will miss that sparkle in her eyes when she laughed as I came in and said "I LOVE YOU MUMMIE"! and I'd kiss her in her neck...the only place she was ticklish. I will miss you dearly and love you always. Janet xoxoxo

I will always remember your smile, your laughter and your ever so gentle heart. To have been miles apart from you all these years, the love you showed me was as if I was always right here. You will always be in my heart and missed greatly...I love you always!

Matriarch of the family, a loving mother and a friend to all who knew her. Quick to laugh and always enjoyed life.
Her favorite flower was the Yellow Rose: The bright, sunny color of yellow roses evokes a feeling of warmth and happiness. The warm feelings associated with the yellow roses are often akin to those shared with a true friend. As such, the yellow rose is an ideal symbol for joy and friendship.
This dexcribes Mom perfectly.
Thanks Mom for being you.
Your loving son.

If everyone was blessed with just half of her optimism, this world would be a much better place to live. This womans spirit was just simply amazing, and I miss her more than I could ever express.
