To Bob, Susan, Diane, Renee and families: I am so sorry for your loss. I will always remember your mother as a gracious and loving person. I didn't realize (or forgot) that she went to the same high school I did! I'm so glad that my daughter Cindy and her daughter Anya will be able to attend and that you will meet Merry Rose's newest great grandchild. I pray that being able to gather as a family will bring you some solace. God bless you.

Guess I'll go first mom. It is really weird not having you here even though you living with us was not much more than a month, we were used to you being part of the household!

I am so sorry that you broke your hip last month and just didn't recover from that. But I'm so glad you got your wish though and you did not lose your sight before you passed away. Thanks for being my mom. I hope you thrive in Heaven!
