Lee and Judy, I am so sorry to hear about your Mom passing. She was such a wonderful woman. She was always so kind and upbeat. When I was doing family genealogy she gladly answered any question I had ,and told me stories about the family. Which I appreciated so much.
She and you are in my prayers.

Lee and Judy,
It was such a blessing to know your Mom. We all appreciated the love she had for Uncle Marty and the loving care she gave him over the years. She was a special woman and we know you will miss her a lot. Thank God she was here for 97 years. Our prayers go out to you, and we hope you have many happy memories of her, as we do.
