Mike and Joe, my condolences to you and your families. Your mother was one of the kindest and warmest people I have ever met. I never saw or heard her when there was not a smile on her face or in her voice. My prayers are with you all.

Mike and Kathy, Joe and Mary, I am so sorry for your loss. No matter the when or how, mothers aren't supposed to leave us. My prayers for all of you she left behind and the knowledge that you have many, many happy memories. I feel I knew her so well; she was loving and giving and fun - always had that wonderful laughter to share. I know you will miss her and I know, too, the love never goes away. God bless you all and I thank him that I got to know her and all of you.
