So very sorry Bob for your loss and the loss for your family. Always had the best disposition, regardless how she was feeling, and a most gorgeous smile! That is what I will remember!

What a blessing this lady was to the world and to those who knew and loved her. She was like my “second” mom and I will truly miss her. She was always there to share a smile or an have an ear to listen. In the years we were friends, we came to love each other like family and we are so very thankful to have been a small part of her life. The last few years were difficult for her as her health began to take it’s toll on her, but she never let it get her down for long.
Go rest high on that mountain, your work on earth is done. We love you and will miss you dearly.
