So sorry I can't be there but I send my condolences to her husband Jack, son Jay and daughter Wendy and all the family. I didn't know her well but my daughter Joelle spoke highly of her. She will be missed by all her family and friends. God bless you all.

One of the best friends you could have, She cared about everyone that asked for her help. If not asked, she offered. She loved angels and to many was one. She lived for others, not herself. Loved by many. Her passing leaves a void.
