I loved her sense of humor. I loved how she made me feel. Our Lord has gathered another angel.
Shelly, Keith, and Randy, my heart goes out to you all. Your mom was a special lady and I know she will be missed by many.
I wish I would have met your mom earlier in my life. I will always remember her kindness and her smile. She was always welcoming whenever we came to visit.
She made a mean cup of coffee and always had good conversation to go with it.
Cherish the memories.
All the best to you and your children in your time of sorrow.
Thank you for all the love and support from our family and friends. ❤️
