We are all so sorry for your loss. She was a beautiful strong woman that was hard not to love. Our thoughts and prayers will be with all of you. As always an unspoken invitation for kind words is available at anytime.
It is so fortunate Jan had the time to be with her during her illness and passing. I am sure she found this a great comfort. She was so dearly loved and cared for by all of you. I know she was proud of Bruce, Jan, and Allen. She beamed when she would talk of any of you. Please let me know if you need anything during this difficult time. Much Love, Julie, Michael, Sarah, Jackie (& family), Teri, and Jess.
