To the family, I know this time is hard for all of us. But she gave us lots of love to each of us in her own way, one of a kind LADY with class, great love for all around her. Thos who knew her remember her hair, nails always had to be taken care of and when she left home she was ready for the fashion show. I miss her the smile and all great ideals and advice that she gave. love you see you on the other side on the river of life.
