Many of us will miss her. She was a very caring & fun person to be around, always with a smile, kind word & hug to share. She opened her home to so many of us. Family was always her main concern. She took great pride in Bill & Linda who were wonderful to share their mom with us. She has left a "legacy" in Patagonia that many of us will remember. Love, thoughts and prayers to all of you.

Your precious Mother was to me a "Real Lady" - I know lots of women, but ladies have a special Aura and carriage about them. She was a second Mom to Pam and I thank her for that --- Thanks for sharing her with us. Fondly and hugs.........
