Dear Phil, Annette & Kay,



I will miss "Mom" very much and know

she was lovingly adored by all her "kids." Her children by marriage, Creig & I, were accepted as her kids as well & she sacrificed her time & energy daily accommodating all of us for anything we asked of her. Ever- giving and ready to lend an ear or hand for those she loved,I will remember her always and treasure the

time we had her.



Love & prayers to my husband & "sisters",



Carolyn



P.S. Phillip says his favorite memory of Grandma was crawdad-fishing with her at Tower Grove Park.

She even helped him land a baby snapping turtle that we kept as a pet! Love & miss you, grandma! - Phillip
