I am so sorry for your loss. I think of a vibrant lady supporting her children and their friends at sporting events, especially basketball. I remember her helping send Carl to church camp with you, Kris. Carl loved spending time at your home. May you cherish your memories and find hope in The Lord.

We wanted to add our sympathy to the many
that we are sure that have been expressed.
In reading her obituary we
both commented on what a lovely lady
with a gentle and sweet smile.
