Your mother was a bright spot in our lives everyday at work. She always had a special smile and a warm greeting. She will be greatly missed.

Your mom was a real sweet lady who made the best bananna pudding she also taught me and my sister Julia Jones how to two step years ago, when our fathers were playing music. We talked to them over the years a number of times. They will be sadly missed

I worked with you Mother @ Regal Beloit and she was a great person. She cared about people and was a proud Mother of Taron and bragged on her singing. I resently had the priveledge of getting to listen Taron sing at a retirement party and she would have went far in life with her voice. My deepest regret and sorrow for your loss
