I never had the pleasure of meeting you, but I know your son Troy and the love he had for you when he spoke about you was amazing. Your daughter-in-law Veronica loved you & learned a lot from you over the years. I know they will miss you a lot. Praying for Troy & Veronica & the rest of the family.

You were my mother in law for the last 21 years. And I was truly amazed by all your talent. There was not a flower that you could not tell me how to save. Your crocheting was truly art work and your quilts were the most beautiful ones I have seen. And all hand stitched. The last one you finished a few months back I proudly have on mine and Troys bed. Thank you for becoming my friend. And being such an inspiration every year with all you did to enter in the fair. You will be missed
