I feel fortunate to have spent a few days with her before she passed. I called her "Mom" and was proud to do so. I have never met a gentler soul. I pray that her family will have peace and joy in knowing that she is in the presence of all things good.

Deana, Sandy, Connie, Skip and family,
So sorry that we were unable to attend your Mom's memorial. We have so many fond memories of your Mom and your family. We know she will be missed a lot. I'm sure you take great comfort in knowing that she is with the Lord.
You are in our thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry that we will not be able to attend your mother's service.What a lovely lady she was. Remember our camping trips to Red Fish. There is one in paticular that I laugh at everytime I think of it. A little joke all of our moms paid on our dads and it backfired because of their children? Both your parents were special to our parents as all of you are to all of us. Prayers and thoughts are with you. Love Sheri Pitman
