Shiela,Norma& family:
I am so sorry that yu had to say good bye to another one of your family member. I am sure going to miss the good times that we were able to have with your mother. I loved it when we picked her up to go to special occasions with the family. I got to know her so well. I hated to see her go but I am glad she is all done suffering. God will take good care of her because he knows she was a special person to alot of us.
