I am sad for Merle, Larry and Mike for loosing the strong Matriarch of the family. I am sad for all of the grandkids, because with her she took all of her wise words. I am equally sad for the great grandkids, because they may not remember just what a great lady she was! I have lots of loving memories. My heart goes out to the family she will be missed, the glue that holds a family together.
Love,
Terri
