Dennis, Lanie, Jeanette, and Janie. I think of you often, and of Aunt Jane and Uncle Gene. Thank you so much for sharing your Mom's writings and the poem. They were so touching. Love you all.

Mama..you are such a beautiful part of my life! I miss you terribly every day but yet you are with me all the time. You lived your life so simply but so gracefully. You are a wonderful mother, my "one of a kind" best friend and a special part of so many lives. I hear you Mama and I feel your touches each step along my way.
