Dear Alyssa, Barrett & Family,
I think of all the love we shared the memories too through all the years. We will keep your mom in our hearts forever. She was a beautiful person with a heart of gold. Children loved her kindness and great nature. She touched the hearts of so many over the years. She is at peace now with God and her family in heaven.
Your memory will always hold a special place in all our hearts. Too have a special Aunt like you who was so affectionate and tender is a wonderful gift we all received from you. Love you forever
