Donna, Kathy, Theresa and family... We have so many fond memories of your mom I don't know where to start. She was the sweetest neighbor and family friend anyone could hope for and many a time we would sit down for tea and solve all the world's problems. She had an amazing sense of humor and was the hardest worker we've ever known, all while raising 3 great daughters. Please accept our sincere sympathy and wonderful thoughts of her.
