Not sure what to say?

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.

Uncle Mick, I just want to express my sympathies for you and the kids. I know how hard this is on you all and want you to know that you will all be in my prayers. All our love to you. Sandi, Kip, Brad, Shannon, Jaime, Corey, Ray, Randy, Willy and Kaylee.

Your Mother is always with you!

She's the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street, she's the smell of certain foods you remember, flowers you pick and perfume that she wore, she's the cool hand on your brow when you're not feeling well, she's your breath in the air on a cold winter's day. She is the sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep, the colors of a rainbow, she is Christmas morning.

Your Mother lives inside your laughter. And she's crystallized in every tear...

Dear Deborah & Kimberly: So sorry to hear of your Mother passing away.. Also happy to read that she had 24 years of marriage and a wonderful extented family. I remember your Mother very well, so sweet, kind, generous, never complained, worked so hard raising you girls, and always so proud of the two of you. "May God hold her in the palm of his hands" . I wish peace of heart for the both of you, and you will always know you were truly loved by a very special women, who was your Mother.. Amen

Mick, Deb, and Kim,
I need not tell you how much your mother and wife will be missed.
Some seen her as the well educated professial woman, always researching on how to take better care of her patients, and guiding her staff to do the same.
Some seen her as a "pitbull" that she could be, because Lord knows once she got an idea or a feeling in her head.. she grabbed on with both hands until she got it figured out or resolved.
I was one of the lucky ones, I seen her as all...
