So sorry I was unable to attend the service
for your mother. You were in my thoughts
and prayers. Your mom was my husbands
1st cousin and they shared the same birthday. She was an amazing person and I
have so many good memories being together with her.

Jan, I'm so sorry to hear about your mom but at the same time I can't believe you were able to enjoy her for such a long time. I have nothing but fond memories of her. She tolerated all of our shenanigans throughout our years of hanging out including the many sleepovers and her years of being our girl scout leader. I had that red "sit-upon" that we made for many years. I remember her taking us to the Crown Point fair grounds everyday for a week for some girl scout day camp. She definitely made a big difference in my life. She would often show up at many of the craft fairs that I had a booth at. Always with her big smile and wondering how I was doing. I so enjoyed talking with her. I know you will really miss her.
