Michele and Lori. I am sorry to learn of your Mother's passing. I remember many times with all of you at Muhlenberg Ambulance. Since I ran there for ten years and was Captain I had many times to be around your family. Your mom was always a pistol! I wanted to attend her services last week and I would have been able to see you and pay my respects to your Mother. I had a previous appointment to tend to that morning and could not change it. So just know my thoughts were with you. Also I was thinking of your family coming to the campground. That was also special times. Again, I am very sorry for your loss. Please find peace and comfort among your family and friends. Take care. Kevin Lash

In 6 of us went to your moms house to sing Christmas Carols for her and she had such a good time she accidentally locked herself out of her home (2019).
One Pic below is of your mom and dad at a party for Kayln.
Another is at a party for my dad (Ed)
The remaining 2 are from a party for my mom (Barbara)
All were taken at our home.

Sorry for your loss. I spent much time with Jackie in the 1980s at the EMS station. She had a kind heart.

Michele and Lori, Condolences to you both, and your Families. Friends, and Coworkers as you face this loss. Your mother was a great servant, and instilled the same characteristics in both of you. May your hearts know peace, and may the light of eternal rest be the blessing your mother sees in faith. Thoughts and prayers are with you as you wade through this river of grief and loss. Be blessed!
