Tributes
"My mother was a spirited and kind soul and although she still had so much share, we are grateful for all she gave us. We will always carry her in our hearts!"
"We had a wonderful mother, One who never really grew old; Her smile was made of sunshine, And her heart was solid gold; Her eyes were as bright as shining stars, And in her cheeks fair roses you see. We had a wonderful mother, And that' s the way it will always be We miss you mom."
"I will always remember her welcoming me (and then my son) as her own. I will remember her smile and laughter. We will love and miss her always. RIP, you are with the angels now."
