My mom was the most kind-hearted person I've ever known. She was loving, caring, and always cared about other people.

Words cannot express the love that Barbara and I have for FRANCIS. From the first day that MATT brought you to our home we could feel the bond that you two had and was so happy that God had brought you into our life. As a wife and mother your love was undying the positive influence you had on my son and grandson will never be lost. You were my second daughter and I will never forget all the joyous times that we were able to share. Look down on us and continue to be the beacon of light that Jackson and Matt have had and will continue to need. God put you in our lives for a reason and has now taken you home to help him reach others through your positivity as an angel of the Lord. I know you will always be that positive influence on all of us and we in turn can make a positive change in the earthly world we live in. Until the day that we all meet again in Heaven I say thank you for being my son's soulmate and the truly wonderful mom to Jackson and such a ray of sunshine in my life.
