Mothers Day came and went, I missed our yearly yard sale weekend, I remembered buying you that cute straw hat last year with the feather you were so adorable in it, so tiny, and everyone told me what a beautiful Mother I had.. I am so blessed to have you as my guardian Angel. You will be happy to know that the Monument was delivered to Southlawn Cemetery for you yesterday and it has two Angels I designed for you on it as well... I love you Mama and miss you everyday. Dad is doing good, I keep him busy, we laugh alot about the funny things you would do and say. I finished your photo album for him Sunday evening he enjoyed that. I love you Mama and miss you so much.. Love Your Daughter Linda

Your family is always in our prayers. We miss you all very much. What fun we used to have with Doris. We worked many long hours but she always made it seem like more than just a job. I'll never forget the big blow out we had ( scared the daylights out of Doris ) and Shirley sat on an ant hill. Thought we were going to have to give her oxygen she laughed so hard. She did her best to make us feel like family. We loved her and will miss her greatly. Mark & Shari
