So sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. I know y'all will all miss her deeply. She loved all her family so much they were so much a part of her life and meant the world to her. She was good to her friends as well! She was so much fun - we had great times together at work and our infamous lunches. It sorrows my heart to think of her not here anymore. May God be with you all. And, may you find comfort and peace with family and friends and the precious memories you shared and made with her. Love to all, Mary Case

My mother was the kindest, most loving, and generous person anyone could ever know. My heart is broken every day without her here. Each day brings sad reminders of her absence. I already miss her so much-her smile, her warm hugs, her laughter, her smile, and her love.

I am so grateful for the love and support she poured into my life and the lives of my siblings. She instilled in us values and lessons, teaching all of us the importance of generosity, kindness, and self reliance.

Thank you, Mom, for being our rock and for gifting us with a lifetime of love. Though you are no longer physically with us, your heart and spirit will forever live in our hearts. I promise to carry forward your legacy of kindness, and I hope to honor your memory every single day. Until we meet again, I will cherish every moment we shared, until the end of time. I miss you and love you so much!
