I visited your mother's grave at Cedar Grove. When I looked at the beautiful flowers it was easy to remember how beautiful your mother was. Serving her at Victoria's was always a pleasure. She made us feel very special every visit...hugging her was easy. Loved the lights in her eyes. May you always feel her warmth. We will miss her.

Ed, Jan, Rusty, Lee, Micah, and Sarah, you are all in our thoughts and prayers. We will never forget the time we had when we were up in New Hampshire vactioning with you Ed...and your mom and Ted. We had such fun. My oldest took his first steps up there on the beach. Your mom was always a kind and sweet woman. She sure did raise great kids that we are so fortunate to be friends with. We are happy that Nell is no longer in pain and is at peace. Hugs to all...

May God give you strength for the
difficult days ahead. Our thoughts
