Our sincere condolences on the loss of your mother, grandmother, and great grandmother... and my cousin. We will not be able to attend the graveside services today but I'll always remember "Sis" for her bright smile and warm heart when we were growing up in Spring Valley. She had a really blessed life with her children and so many grandchildren and great grandchildren. God bless you all. Love, Judy Frankenfield Rudolph
