Dear family, I know how deeply sad and heartbroken you are all feeling at this time. God truely blessed your mother in letting her spend so much time with her children and letting her gandchildren get to know the love of a Grandmother. I'm sure she was now ready and eager to join her loving husband and that he was there next to our Lord waiting for her with open arms to enter the Kingdom of heaven together.

I will always remember my Aunt with her warm smile, graceful and soft spoken.
My sincere condolence and prayers are with all of you at this time.
Your cousin,
Linda Guevara Peterson

Tammy Kister and Family,

My prayers are with all of the family at this time. Losing anyone is difficult but to lose a parent is heart wrenching. I had only spent time with your mother 3 times and I found her to be such a gentle and sweet person. I remember a senior day at the fair when she was asked if they could get her a wheelchair and she said "maybe when I'm 95", and this little woman had already passed 90. This shows you how strong this woman was. I know you will all miss her, but I also know you have some wonderful memories of her which you will hold in your heart.
