Dana,,,I had known Dennis for quite a few years before I ever met your mom.When I did,,I thought,,that's Dennis mom !,,She was so sweet and gentle,,It was good to see you Friday and wish I could have gone to Maury's after the service.But Dennis was such a good friend to me and I will truly miss how he made me laugh and the other good times we had together. He was special to me and will always be in my heart for all my life.God bless all of you,,I'm so sorry.

Mom was a very devout christian woman. She always gave of herself to everyone with her whole heart and contributed to numerous charities on a regular basis.
Her home was always open for anyone who needed a home. She took in many relatives and gave them loving care.
God, Family, Friends, and Animals were the most important things in her life. She always wanted peace, love and happiness for all that she loved.
She was an animal lover and was particularly fond of cats.
Mom was a very hard working and giving wife and mother with not a lot of time left for her. Making a family home for us and being the best possible parent was her focus.
Mom was the most wonderful, precious and graceful woman anyone could have the pleasure of knowing.
She was a very avid reader; that was her favorite past time. She was very knowledgeable about world affairs and politics, I believe that contributed to keeping her young, even at age 86.
Mom was a go getter and never stopped; 'till the day she passed.
We all have the very utmost respect and love for our mother and she will always remain in our hearts with pride.
Mom and Grandmother, we are saying goodbye to you. We are happy that you are now in heaven with God, Family and Friends. You will be missed in our lives.
God bless your soul,
Your loving children and grandchildren.
