Brenda and Joyce so sorry to see of your Mother's death. I always enjoyed seeing her and doing Home Interior partys for her. I know she will be missed greatly

We are very sorry for such a great loss. Our thoughts and prayers go out to each and everyone who has had the privilege of knowing her. It was a privilege to call her our Aunt. She was always full of personality and had such a zest for life...may she rest in peace. I wish peace and healing for the family and friends; may all your memories with her last forever in your hearts.

With Love,

Donnie, Lisa, & D.J
