Mrs. M was like a second Mom to me and all my siblings. We all loved her deeply. She was also a special friend to my husband Larry and me. She had gentle soul and a beautiful spirit. I have many wonderful memories of our times together. She had do many wonderful stories she shared with us. She was so proud of each and every one of her children, their spouses and especially her grandchildren who held a special place in her heart.
Rest in peace sweet angel.
