Her sense of humor, great laugh and love of life will be missed by the many lives she touched throughout her too short life.

Condolences to Jim, as they had just begun their lives together and certainly expected to have 30 or 40 more years to make memories. My sympathy to her son, Robbie, who was always foremost in her thoughts. She was a very proud and loving Mom. My dearest Aunt Lillian, my love and heartfelt condolences to you on the loss of your only daughter. There can be no greater pain than losing a child, regardless of their age. William & Ken, your little Sister looked up to you both and is surely sitting next your Father, watching over you and your sons. Cousin Sara will be remembered for her beautiful smile, razor-sharp wit and infectious laughter. As she was only five months younger than me, we grew up to be very close and enjoyed challenging each other to games of Trivial Pursuit and Scrabble. Sara, you fought so hard this year but now you may rest. You will be loved always and missed so very much.
