To Marie, Billy and Joanna and families; So sorry to read of your mom's passing. Our mom's are such special people in our lives and it is very hard to lose them. I remember her from working at the bank and she was always so pleasant. Always remember the good times and hold them close to your heart. God bless you all.

I remember most Aunt Jessie's smile. From my earliest memories of her to my latest and last, it was always her smile that stood out. With fond regrets and deepest sympathy, we'll always have that smile.
