So, sorry! Just now seeing this. My Mother Carolyn Driscoll Seuser was her cousin. I had a picture of them I can't find. One on my phone is blurry. Wish, I could share. She was a great lady. Kind and helpful. Always, a smile.

I love you mom and I'm sorry I was such a disappointment to you. I had to do things my way or I wouldn't be who I am today. I may not be rich or have an extravagant home but I am rich in all the blessings God has given me and I do a lot of good things for other people. I'm proud of who I've become. You wanted me to be a strong independent woman and mom I'm just that. It takes a lot for me to ask for help from anyone. I hope you can see all the good I put out in the world now and I'm grateful you're not hurting anymore. Tell Jack I said hi. Fly high with the angels and rest easy mama. I love you. You were my first real best friend besides my imaginary friend Freddy. I love you mama and I'm sorry for all the trouble pain and hurt I caused along the way. Thank you for everything you did for me and my children. I'm eternally indebted to you. Love you mom!
