It was a long life that you had on this earth. And oddly enough 100 years seemed too soon for it to end. There are many memories that will linger in you absence for years to come. I am happy you have entered into a time of rest and joy. I am sad that it will be a while before we see you again. I will remember you always with love...Michelle Haley
