Mom I will miss you forever. You were strong willed, a fighter until the end. You were getting better and I was so proud of the work you were doing! I enjoyed watching Hallmark movies with you, maybe not the Westerns but we watched together. I am grateful I was able to spend your last 6 months on earth. Thanks for teaching be to be strong and independent! I miss you.

Linda and I have so many cherished memories. There is no finer or sweeter person than Linda.
Linda please return Andy’s sock, if you still have it, that he always accused you of stealing on one of your visits. He will be waiting on you.
Jon, Susan and families, your Mom won’t need wings in heaven she wore them proudly and faithfully here on earth. I know you will miss here, grief will be shared by all because we first LOVED her.

I’ve known Linda my entire life. Loved going to church with her for many, many years. She was one of Mom’s best friends, and a good friend to our entire family. Linda loved her family dearly. We are out of town until Thursday evening so I will not be able to attend the service but you will all be in my prayers.
