To Johnny, Donna, and Family,

I was so sad to hear about your mom's passing. She will be really missed. My memories of your mom are all such good ones! Always there to lend a helping hand, wither it be a ride from here to there, AND back! Supporting our "activities" in school, sports, and life in general in her special way. Her advice always came with some spice, and ALWAYS with a smile. Matter of fact, I can never remember NOT seeing her with a smile on that kind face!

Her soul will rest peacefully for the effort and time she gave to all.

Repectfully and with Much Love,

Ronny Muir and Family
