I have so many wonderful memories of "Mommy" from making potato salad for everyone to watching my kids. She enjoyed life to the fullest with her many vacations with all her daughters... I almost feel like she is still here when I am with Linda, Mary, Barbara and Debbie...Such a kind person and very much missed... Love, Dee

Even though your gone you leave me with so many memories. Being scared to death to walk down your hallway because of your dog Buffy. Sending you colorings of smowmen from my home in Florida and seeing them on your wall when we would come up to stay for Christmas. Waking up to the sound of Pop Pop's spoon in his cup and saucer and smelling breakfast cooking but you allowing me to eat Applejacks instead. Loving that if I looked behind your bathroom door you always had some type of ball or bat or something I could play with outside. Running up and down the celler stairs. Waking up Christmas eve to find my parents puting together my Hot Wheels Set ( Thats when I found out :).Knowing you would always have m&m's or Hershey Kisses waiting on a table. These are just a few things that I remember and will miss but most of all we all will miss you.. Thanks for being a great Mom Mom.. Love Dale
