Dear loved ones of Joyce, Rudy and myself were so very sorry to hear of your moms death, she certainly left you with lots of great memories, she was a wonderful cook, a warm loving mom, loads of fun { I loved her laugh.
We had many good times with her and your Dad, going out to eat, Florida was a hoot with them, I do not pick grapefruit without thinking of how she loved them.
She certainly looked beautiful in her present picture,she was a very pretty lady, I loved it when she bought her first wig, how we laughed.
We are sorry we could not be there to share in her life stories,but we certainly had her in our prayers at church.All our love to the family.
