It will be the little things that you remember: the quiet moments, the smiles,the laughter. And although it may seem hard right now, it will be the memories of these little things that help to push away the pain, and bring the smiles back again. Our sincere sympathy,

To all my cousins: Your mom was a gentle soul and will sorely be missed. I know the pain of losing a parent and I pray that your memories will comfort you during this most difficult time. I will fondly remember the times I took EB to church and afterwards we would go to lunch with your mom and dad...special memories for me. Love, Debbie
