Mom, Sleepless in Sarasota this early AM and missing you with all my heart. You're Grandkids, although not by blood, miss you too.



I can't get you and all the years with you and the years lost out of my mind. I'm putting your picture here soon and making a beautful Memorial Web Page for you.



Thank you for telling me the things you did the last time I saw you, you helped me. I was there to try and help you, but like always, you, even on your death bed, held my hand and comforted me. A Lady, A Wife, A Mother, A Grandmother and a Friend, all wrappd up in one. I still don't understand any of this. I love you. Always and Forever, Lisa
