Susan/Jeff MUM was a mother among mothers whose heart was always filled with love and kindness. She always loved everyone in the family and still reached out to others in need with still more love. She will always be missed but
still thought of often with great love. My thoughts are with you and my family will miss her very much. My family's prayers are with you.

Jeff, Susan and Cindy- I am so saddened to hear about Nonie. She had the biggest heart and always was there for anyone that needed help. She will always be in my heart and I will hold very fond memories of her. She was a very special lady and you can be sure she will be missed by all. I hope you can get through this time of grief, as I know she will be watching from above and holding you all in her sights. She was an angel hear on earth and now she will be in peace in heaven. My thoughts and prayers go out to you all. Please let me know if you need anything.

Jeff, Susan & Cindy I am so sorry to hear about "Mom's" passing. I pray your present pain will soon turn to fond memories of your mother. Your Mom was such a wonderfully giving person, I and so many others felt such love from her and for her. She loved you each so much and that love will always be with you - nothing can ever break the bond of a mother's love. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers ~ Dee-Ann
