I love you and miss you, mom! You gave us many years of wonderful memories. I think I took pictures of most of them. :0) I smile when I think about you and dad being together again. Thank you for raising us to love and appreciate family. That's what is most important. Until we meet again....

From the moment I became a part of this family, Grandma accepted me as one of her own. I will never forget the love and kindness she showed me and so many others. A truly beautiful soul and one of the most courageous women I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Thank you Grandma, for being the best and for raising such a beautiful family. We will miss you dearly, but will always cherish the wonderful memories you gave us!

Love, Joyce, Mark and Ben Midcap
