Dear Family,
Your Mom was an amazing lady. She thought of others always. Raised a great family. She welcomed me into her little brothers life when she first met me with a big hug. She always called me her sister. I always looked forward to visiting with her when we'd visit Cleveland. She's in my heart and will be greatly missed. I honored to be part of the Pesta family. Bless you all for taking care of my sisie.
