To all our family, friends, and those who knew her, I appreciate all you did for us in a time of grief. I praise God that she was able to be part of your lives, thank you for all the awesome memories and remarks you made on her behalf. There were two people names I missed adding on the program, Haul that helped a couple weeks and Kim Lee who helped me when I didn't have anyone to care for our mom. He was patient , treated her with respect and let her have her way. (smile) If there's anyone we've missed, please accept our apology because so many was there for us and it's not our intention to leave out anyone. My mom was very straight up, a woman of character, never funny growing up, but mom was funny everyday with me and the people that took care of her. I get so sad that she's gone and burst out laughing about things she said and did that had us falling on the floor laughing. She would keep a straight face, while she's making us laugh so hard. I thank you mom for all the funny memories, it's helping me make it without you.

Ms. Hill was my homeroom teacher at Warrington Middle back in the mid-1980's. Her wardrobe and nails were always on point. She was rocking nail art before there was nail art : ) One of the most stylish and sweetest teachers! (And she didn't play) Rest in heaven Ms. Hill.
