Your mom was soo funny. I distictly remember her leaving notes on the butter in the kitchen letting everyone know that it really ticked her off that there were crumbs left on it. Bless you Leigh, Laurie and Anne .With soo many fond memories. ..

I still feel her love everyday. Not only "Best Mom ever" - but an amazing human being. Nobody could have handled Alzheimer's with more grace, courage and style. She never let it crush her spirit. Everyday, I appreciate the gifts she gave me. Love you, Mom! -Anne ❤

Sorry again, State family, for your loss.

It's really interesting to read about her life since I didn't know her until she was affected by Alzheimer's. However the spunk and energy you talk about sure did continue. She could brighten anyone's day by singing and dancing and making us all laugh with a silly face or comment. She was so beautiful and I am so greatful I knew this woman - even if it was closer to the end than the beginning.
