We are so sorry for the loss of your Mother. WE are distant cousins and met her for the first time in 1999.
We came to her home to meet Aunt Shellie andthey were living together. Your Mom was such a special person she treated us so special and like she had known us all her life. After that we keep in touch as often as we could and visited occationally from Wi. Phone calls to her made us so close to her we will miss her greatly. Know you are all in our thoughts and prayers and will NEVER forget this wonderful woman.May God keep her in the palm of his hand and hold her close for eternity.
Mike, Lisa,Hunter and family. So sorry for your loss. You all are in my thoughts and prayers during this time.
