As your Beta sister I will always remember the wonderful family stories you entertained us with while we all worked on our Green Wreath sale. You always sold the most and worked so hard to make them perfect I so enjoyed your company

Having to say good bye to someone we love is never easy. No matter how good life has been or how warm the memories, the time just never seems enough. We become overwhelmed with the loss, and only after the grief has eased are we able to find comfort in how much we gained from the years we had our loved one in our lives. My parents have been gone for years yet every day I see my dad's sparkle in my grandson's eyes. I see my mom's sense of direction in my daughter. They may have passed on-but they leave their mark in all of our hearts in so many ways. May your memories help you at this difficult time. You are in our thoughts and our prayers. Your mom will live on in the hearts of those who had the pleasure of knowing her. Much love, Ginni-Girardot-Counard of Jersey (formerly of Rochester, MI)

Your mom was a very special lady, always willing to help, because she had such a soft heart. I always enjoyed her company, she always made me feel part of the family just as she did her son-in-law, my brother TJ. My heart is sad for all of you (children & grandchildren), but my heart is happy for her to finally be with the love of her life again, Dick & Kay together forever. I love all of you, you are in my prayers. Chris Williams Wilmoth

Anne, You are in my thoughts and prayers. Your Mom must have been a kind and wonderful lady because she raised an angel for a daughter. I am sure she is looking down proudly from Heaven right now. Sympathy and Hugs to you and your family.
