Dear Family, My list of good memories of your Mom (and my sometimes second mom) is quite long. I remember her smile, gentleness, devotion, and kindness. She was such a positive influence on so very many lives. I join you in the sadness of our loss; and, in the joy of celebrating a life well lived. May God bless you as you mourn and may He comfort you with strength and peace in the days ahead. Much love to you all - I miss you greatly.
