Steve, Alexa and Goerge,
I am so sorry for your loss. Johna was a beautiful woman inside and out.
When I think of your home, I see Alexa's little red cowboy boots sitting outside the side door.We would share a smile that only two mothers can share when looking at a sweet remberance of our children. Alexa and George your mother always

I hope you will always remember how much she loved you.
