How do you grieve the loss of a mother, mother in law and grandma? "Mommy" was a kind, gentle person who will be truly missed by all who knew her. I will never be able to go into Dunkins' without wanting to buy her a boston creme or bavarian cream donut. The enjoyment on her face as she had her eyes closed enjoying them will always be with me. You all should know how very, very much she loved ALL of you and how very much she loved living in your home. We will miss her, but we all know she's in a better place right now. She's happy!!!

Mrs. Duval was like a mother to me when I was a teenager. Donna and I would hang out at her house, her mom would give us rides when it was freezing cold in winter. She went through alot during her life. My only wish is that she spend eternity happy and healthy. She will never be forgotten.

My grandma was one of the best parts of growing up in our family. She was a hard, tireless, worker who was loved by and loved everyone she came into contact with. She was at her happiest when she was with her family. He sons and daughters made her feel special. Every day was Mothers Day for her. And, I honestly can never remember her being in a down moment. Always happy, always with a smile, and always wanted the best for her family. The last time I saw her was Thanksgiving of 2006, after not seeing her for many years. She hadn't changed one bit, she was young, vivariant, and full of life. Just like she will always be.
God please rest and bless her soul and please watch over and give strength to my aunts, uncles, and my dad in this very difficult time for our family.. Thank you.
