She loved and adored you all so very much. May God grant you the comfort you need during this difficult time.My prayers are with you all.

My oldest sister who we all loved dearly and have so many fond and happy memories. We shared so much together and I will always remember the many laughs we had as a family and how your smile lit up a room. You taught me so much throughout my life, and you indeed were my second mom. In my mind we are on that Norwegian Cruise to the Bahamas Chris having that perfect drink with a pink umbrella in it like we planned. I love you so much and am so proud that you were my sister. RIP finally............Nancy
