I will always be thankful for the many times she stayed with my dad, Herman Wewers, so my mom could go to appointments or get groceries. Your mom was one of the few people dad still recognized and made it easy for mom to leave him. I will always remember her smile and her kindness. May she rest in peace and let perpetual light shine upon her.
