john, dickie, & Robert,
"A mother is the truest friend we have;When trials heavy and sudden,fall upon us;When adversity takes the place of prosperity;When friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine,desert us;When trouble thickens around us,still will she cling to us,and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness,and cause peace to return to our hearts."
Always remember that love never dies!!! Your mother is with you,every second of everyday. She made your dad's garage complete,by welcoming everyone in and talking to them,while they waited for their cars to get repaired. She always had a story about her kids or grandchildren,she loved her family very, very much!!! May she rest in Peace, with God now,and watch over the rest of us!!!
Your friend & customer of many years,
