Carol, Gloria and Val....
I will never forget your mom. She was so bright, happy, funny, smart and loving. I don't think I ever saw her without a smile on her face or ever left her presence without a kiss and a hug. That's how she was with everyone. She was loved by all who knew her.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Love,
Paula and family
