Voltenburg Family,
Of course, I am thankful for your mother in my life. If it was not for her, my parents would never have met, I would never of had a caring Aunt and Godmother who I have enjoyed keeping company with at the lake throughout the years. God Bless the legacy she leaves behind in her family
