Sue, David and Tommy, your mom was a wonderful person. I can remember her since I was just a young child. Always had a kind word to say. Always willing to do for everyone. And what joy I recall when her first grandbaby was born, and then all the others that came to her. She was full of love. We all know she is in a better place but at the same time we have lost a true great example of human life. I know tomorrow as we celebrate her life she will be dancing with Jim as they did so well in life.
Love, Tom and maureen
