There are so many memories of time spent with this wonderful lady! There was advice given (whether solicited or not ) , and there were so many wonderful conversations and just as many wonderful memories made. Reading this obituary reminded me at my very advanced age of 80, that these memories are special. The losses of our family members and friends , should always be a prompt to remember the special times and those wonderful people who influenced us and made us who we are today. Rest in peace with your dear husband and son. You all are remembered with love and very happy memories.
