I can honestly say that that lovely woman treated me like one of her children. She always had a smile on her face when she saw me. Always gave me a hug and kiss. She could talk to me about anything. I will always be a better person because of her ability to show how to be a friend and to show how to love. Rest in peace, my 2nd MOM. I miss you and your smiles.

God looked around his garden and found an empty space then He looked down upon this earth and saw your tired face. He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest, God's garden must be beautiful He only takes the best. All my love Nana. For it is giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Dear Billy and Family,
Our Thoughts and Prayers go out to you and your family.
Your mom always treated me as I was part of your family.
She always greeted me with a big "hi Bobby" a hug and kiss. I've known her since 1974 and she's always been super special to me. My heart felt empty when I received the news of her passing as I recently lost my mom and can relate to what you are going through. With all our deepest sympathy, thoughts and love. May your moms suffering be blessed with everlasting peace in her new home.

Love Bobby and Gayle Hogan
