Our Mother aw an amazing woman. When our Dad passed away in 1968, she was left with 5 children at home - 3 of them under the age of 16 years. Our Mom never worked outside the home, but she worked by babysitting and raising big gardens to take care of her family and to buy her first house. Her family always came first.

Mom, we know your suffering has ended. We love you so very much and will miss you. But, we know we'll see you one day up in Heaven!
