Dear Jerry, Michelle and Melanie. Thank you for sharing with us this wonderful saint of God. She was like a second mother to so many of us. There is not another like her in this world and we loved her very much and will miss her smiling face and the wisdom she could impart is just a few minutes talking to her. She truely was an example of a Godly woman. All our love, Doug and Carolyn Tosh
