    I will always remember what a kind and caring soul she was. Even if things were not right just talking to her made you feel better. Although I have not seen her in many years, I could never forget her. She truly is an angel.

    I remember both your dad and mother.  I thought of her often after bill passed often thought she knew what I was going through.  Prayers for all of you I know God will be with you all.  I cannot come and pay respects since I am careful where I go since having the bypass last August.  If there is anything I can do i am here.
