Smiles just like the one you have shown here in this obituary is how I remember your wife and your mom. She was a special lady who always showed her love and concern for others in a positive way. We loved having her drop by our place of business and appreciated the concern she should for the staff there. Condolences from Don and I. May you feel the love of each other, the love of friends and extended family, and above all the love of our Heavenly Father.
