Thank you to everyone who attended Mom's funeral today!
.....Your mother is always with you. She's the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street, she's the smell of certain foods you remember, flowers you pick , the fragrance of life itself....

she certainly gave birth to a wonderful daughter, Linda, so even though I did not know her, she must of been wonderful to raise such a beautiful, kind and loving girl.

Sisters forever!

Aunt Kay was a sweet and gentle soul. She dearly loved her husband, Warner. She was extremely proud of all of her family, especially her four great-grandchildren. Her sister Margaret (my mother) and I will miss her greatly.
