Kristie,
I am very sorry to hear of the passing of your beloved mom. I have so many memories of her she made me laugh always (sometimes you were not so happy at what she said which would make me laugh more). What a strong woman she was and what a wonderfulrole model. I'm so very sorry for the pain this loss will bring you. I know all to well what it's like not having both parents with you. Gosh she made me laugh and always had a smile. May God bless both you and Jeff at this very sad time. You are in my prayers.

Your Mom was such a kind, thoughtful, caring person. We will miss her greatly at all the parties, family get togethers, and the fireworks.
Our hearts go out to you all.
