Mike,Jarod,Christopher&Family,
My heart aches for the loss of such a great lady,I wish the years & miles had not separated us but she always had a special place in my heart...I enjoyed when the boys were young back in K&Q county and the mini vavations to Va.Beach that we shared the good times and the little chats, we had alot of the same issues so I guess thats why we had such a good friendship. I know she loved her boys that was her life always trying to make them happy and doing things with them.I pray God sends PEACE,COMFORT and fill all the lonely days ahead with all the sweet memories and love she shared.I sit and think of all the flowers she would grow and was always busy decorating to make her home beautiful,each day brings a new memory.I will continue to pray daily and if yal need a friend we are only a phone call away...Love & God BLess
