She was the best mother- in-law one could ever have had. Her faith was an inspiration to all and how she loved her children and grandchildren , and the great grandchildren. She will be truly missed and I guess there was a place in heaven just waiting for her.

Dear Tawa Family,
My deepest sympathies are with you at this time. I have thought of your dad often since his passing, and visit him when I visit my family at Fairview. I miss him sitting in the front room watching the stock reports!
I miss your mom watching her "shows"in her back room. But oh, how they Loved each other! God Bless them both!
And God Bless You All
