Dear Julie, Tim, Matt and the rest of the family,
I am so sorry for your loss, and sorry I didn't know about it sooner but just saw this today as for some reason I just did a search to look her up.
Your mom was so very special to me and I think about all the fun times we had together.
The best next door neighbor anyone could ever have.
I learned so much from her, we wall papered and made dolls and quilts and she taught me to crochet also... I already knew how to knit or she would have taught me that too...
We antiqued we and shared recipes and just shared more than I can say.
Both your mom and dad were always there for me to help with anything I needed.
She was a big part of my life and I would call her when I could usually around her birthday but last time I called she didn't seem to know who I was so I wasn't sure if she was having memory issues because she was usually so happy when i would call...
I really loved her lots, she was very special.
We moved from California to Texas about 2 years ago
Regards and my prayers are with you
