Jonathan, There was no one like your mom! She treated me like one of her own and I still, to this day, have a stuffed monkey she gave me for Christmas (yes, it is well over 30 years old). She was a beautiful soul and anyone who was lucky enough to be part of her life was blessed. I pray you find comfort in knowing she was such an amazing,inspirational and loved individual who helped a lot of us grow up to be positive and productive adults:) Love to you and your family.

Jonathan, I was one of your moms "library daughters" I worked with her every day after school at the Hilltop Branch. She was such a smart and kind woman. We spent many afternoons talking about all kinds of things she was a mentor,and a friend to me. I am so sorry for your loss. Cindy Usner

Dear John, I hope that you remember me from Pleasant Hill Fire Dept. I was your EMT squad Captain and Teacher. I'm so sorry about your Mother. I lost mine 4 years ago. It gets easier, but is always in the back of your mind. My wish for you is, that you stay stong, pick yourself up, when you think that you can go no farther. Your mom is always with you..... Teresa
