Genille, Shannon and Beth. My deepest sympathies to you all. Your mom was such a sweet lady. She always had a Hello for me whenever she came into the dealership. We also had good conversations at your place up north that one time. She will be deeply missed and always loved. Just remember you girls will always have a Guardian Angel to watch and protect over you until you all meet again. God Bless you all and may Mom rest Peacefully in Heaven. No More Pain and Suffering.

One of my favorite memories of Cousin Joyce was when growing up she would come camping with the Chesebro's and we always play The alphabet game where in alphabetical order you would say things that you were going to bring camping and you always had to remember the previous letters my favorite one was when she got the letter "P" and she said she was going to bring a potty chair for her tent so she didn't have to walk to the porta potty ❤ I will cherish the memories I have with her my heart is...
