Venessa and family,

Thank you so much for sharing your mother with us, even if it was just at a 9 week interval. She always came in with a smile and a laugh, in turn keeping our spirits up as well. I've said it before..she was a definite favorite! Our condolences are with you all at this time. Take care of each other.
