How we loved you--you were such a strong lady; so wise; so honest; so wonderful as a sister. Though we grew up years apart, you never forgot that I was your sister and so enjoyed our later years together!!! Love you dearly

Mom, thank you for the years of wonderful memories to carry with me the rest of my life. Through the laughs and the tears I have learned your passion and your strength. I only hope I can be half the mother to my kids as you have been to me. I will miss you mom everyday, and I know someday we will meet again.
