Peace and love to Family and friends.
She loved her Atlantic and was a stones throw away by design in Ormond beach. Fond memories of joining her when visiting with her friends at the beach down the street for a midd morning Sun, fun, gathering.
I was told, I was her favorite son in law many time's, but that could change weekly. Ha ha.
I always appreciated her honesty and her love for her brood. Chip, David, Petter, Mike, Marry Ann & Sally and Miss Irene'e. God bless!
Visiting in FL always reminded me of her love for her brood and the grandchildren when we would visit.. We became second fiddle and the Grand kids became #ber 1. I always felt that was just so real.
She adored Robin and Justin as all her her grandchildren and her eyes would always light up when we would arrive for a visit, Thinking I got bumped to number #2 again.
@ 95 years old what can you say but, all your love and honesty was honored and respected and truly appreciated. You were loved.
Warm thoughts and love go's out to all. Alfred:)
