To a wonderful woman with a heart as big as sky, your compassion for everyone you met was unparalleled by anyone I have ever met.Anyone who knew you, loved you. You gave me my wife who I will cherish for ever. I will always remember the good times which were many. You are now at peace with you husband (pop), no pain, no worries, like an angel in heaven. You have ran the race and finished on top, we will always remember your legacy and miss the times we had. I love you, mom. Keep dad in line up there.
