From when you protected me in grade school to teaching me to ski down the church hill to taking me fishing at the cabin to wild days and family memories - we've laughed, played and cried and I always felt like you were my wall and we could get through anything. I'm proud of you and know you're in the loving arms of mom and grandma. Forever love, sister

So sorry to hear that you passed. I often thought about you through the years, remembering always what a gentle and wonderful parent you were to your kids and how you always put their needs above everyone and everything, I know it wasn't always easy but you stayed strong out of your own love and dovotion for your kids. So glad I got to know you JJ and thank you for the kindness you showed me whenever we were in eachothers presence; God knows your heart and I'm sure he is bringing you home....Marion of Alaska
