Thanks a million for teaching me how to be a lady and how to earn respect. You were always about order, presentation, class, respect and most of all physical well being. This earth will never be the same without you and I feel for those who never experienced your dedication !and love and most of all, your wisdom! Thanks for taking time and caring for me.

We are so sorry to hear of the passing of your Mother. I don't think I ever met her but I did get to know you. From what I have been reading she was an extra special person. As the old saying goes the APPLE DOESN'T FALL FAR FROM THE TREE. So I say job well done!!
Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
