Sending my prayers and love for you all. Knowing she is in a place where she is surrounded by so much love from her family that has been waiting for her and from God.
I have so many memories of her but I think the thing that has always stood out in my mind is that she was such a hard working mom of so many children. I admire her for her strength and for the strength she taught to her children.
All of my love, Shane
