Dear Family, I was sad to hear of your Moms passing. She was such a sweet lady. I remember your Parents bringing you to our house and all you kids were just full of it. She will be greatly missed. Just like your Dad, her memory will live forever in your hearts. Always remember that now you have both of them watching over you so you better behave. They will show up if you don't. She had a huge heart and she did love all of you dearly. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Sincerely, Sharon
