My mom touched many lives while she enjoyed her time on earth. With her kind heart and willingness to always help others, she created happiness in every situation. She did this while raising us kids, being an awesome grandmother, great grandmother, mother-in-law, sister, friend, and significant other. I love you mom and will miss you every day as we move forward, always hearing your voice when we need advice and remembering your smile when we need support. My heart breaks knowing you’ve moved on, but I know your spirit is with me as I try to carry your legacy forward. Thank You Mom. I love you.

Linda was a dear and precious friend. I still can’t believe she is gone so soon. I miss her sweet and kind friendship. many times I have called her for advice on so many things. She was who I turned to when I was unsure of situations or needed advice on this or that. She always had a ready answer. Her warmth and friendship was special. Gosh my dear friend, I miss you so.
