Wendy , I got to know your mom pretty good since I lived next door to her for 5 years. We both loved working in our yards with the flowers and stuff. I will have to say though that she was a lot better at the yard work than I was. She wouldn’t even let one little leave be in her yard. lol. She was so happy when she was in her yard. I’m really sorry to read that she has passed. I do know how devastating Alzheimer is and I know what you’ve been through. She will get to visit with my mom and dad too . They really loved her and your dad. God’s blessings and comfort to you and your family.

Linda and I were classmates of Steele High School. We actually didn't live that far from each other and spend many nights together at bunking parties. Linda was a sweet soul. We didn't see much of each other after graduation. She will be remembered as my dear friend. Sorry for your loss and thanks for taking good care of her.

I've missed you from the moment you took your last breath. You are at peace now, receiving your Heavenly rewards. You're finally reunited with Daddy, and I know you both rejoiced. Make Heaven a little prettier Mom, plant lots of flowers for the Lord. I'll see you again one day. Love Always, Wendy
