Shannon,
I was saddened to hear of the passing of your mother. She was truly blessed to have such a devoted daughter. I remember when you'd bring her to work in the early mornings. As she sat next to you, I'd peak across the office cubicle at both of you. She looked so happy and always smiled.
I believe to have seven children is incredible,...and all daughters! She's a truly a gentle and amazing person.
May God bless you, your sisters and family with strength, peace and fond memories to come...
with sincere condolence,
