To Fred, Tim, and Eddie Paul. Your mom was a brave and courageous woman to raise all of you on her own (let us not forget David was among you then). She did a very good job raising all of you, maintaining a home for you and keeping a job. She was a remarkable woman who never wavered in her faith in the Lord, and we will miss her terribly. She is now at peace.

We love all of you,
Jim and Mary Altazan
