Gina, Eugene, Mike and Families,

I'm so sorry for your loss. The funeral was beautiful and perfect for your Mom. I'm sure she is looking down, smiling, and beaming with pride for all of you. She's in a much happier place now. Her leaving sure has left everyone that knew her with an empty place in our hearts. Please let us know if you need anything at all.

Unable are the loved to die. For love is immortality. ~Emily Dickinson~
