Dearest Richard and family, I am saddened to learn of your dear mothers passing. My prayers are with all of you. I will never forget that she was kind to me and even taught me to make tortillas many years ago. I too have lost my mother, but many years ago. It is a very hard time and also very hard to deal with on a day to day basis but be brave and know that she is with God now and will always love you and look upon you with great pride. I miss you and wish I could give you words to ease the pain. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, one and all. I am so sorry for your loss. Forever yours in thought and spirit.

Dear Angie & Mike -
May God grant you great peace and consolation in the loss of your Beloved Mother. Celebrate her life, for she was truly a happy, wonderful woman. She was always so warm and welcoming that Melanie loved coming to your home. I remember being out of town when Doug was in a car accident and your Mom came to the rescue, seeing that he got to the hospital, etc. She was a remarkable woman and will truly be missed! Our love and prayers are with you.
