My husband, daughter, and I always enjoyed visiting my mother at her house in South Range. She enjoyed going shopping, eating ice cream at Dairy Queen, and seeing the scenery. It meant a lot to all of us to spend time visiting and talking to my mother. She was the strongest person I know and I will miss her a lot. I love you mom.

I am so sorry for your loss. Your mother is one of the best people I have ever know. She helped me so much when I was younger. Peace be with you and your family during this trying time.

My mom made me a strong woman. I was the youngest and the last to leave home, so I was lucky to have a wonderful mother daughter relationship, but also we became friends. I am thankful for all the time I had with her. There are so many great memories filled with love and laughter. I will miss her and thank her for the way I was raised.
