I will miss you, your wonderful smile your kind eyes. You will never know how much you have touched my life. From loving my children to helping take care of me when I had my foot surgery so many years ago. You shared a wonderful man to be my best friend and husband, an amazing father to our children. We all love you so much. Heaven truly did get another angel. ???? Love you Mom

We are sorry for your loss of your dear Mother. She was a dear lady that we met the day Jacob and our grandson Aaron were born. Little did we know how close we'd be from then on. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
