Aunt Carmen, One of my favorite aunts, always with a big and welcoming smile no matter how distant the last time we ever saw each other. May "my angels" get to know you better now that you're in haven and visiting with their "Nana", Mother also. Love you always. Nito

To my amazing Granny. You are the strongest women I know. You taught me so many things. I feel truly blessed to have you as my granny. I will follow in your footsteps always. I can't wait to tell my children everything truly special about you. You will be greatly missed. I love you, Sarah Bethany

Goodbye Mom. I don't know how this great big family of yours will function without your firm loving gudance. I'll miss you the most at the family gatherings we had with no particular reason to celebrate other than each other's company. I'll remember you sitting off to the side with a huge smile on your face, enjoying all the commotion made by your kids, grand kids, and friends. My girls will always remember your loving interest in their busy lives and the many stories you told them about growing up poor in mining camps. My daughters and I will always remember "the rules." See ya' later, Ma.
