We were saddened to hear about her passing. She will be missed by all who knew her. She will be remembered as kind and generous with a good sense of humor. I have wonderful memories of her. I don't know how we ever got anything done since we visited all the time and would spend the whole day drinking coffee and sharing everything. She was a good mom and you all must have all good memories of her. hugs to all. Cousin Gail and Doc

I am so sorry for your loss.
I have the fondest memories of us sitting around on your front porch on Crossman Ave. just talking for hours on end. Time seemed to pass so slowly back then and every evening seemed to last forever.
I hope that you are all well.
God Bless you all and your wonderful Mom.
