Mom, you were the rock of our family, the strongest person I know. I am so glad I got to spend so much time with you. I will miss our time going out to eat (which we loved to do) and just knowing you were always there when I needed you. Your smile will stay in my heart forever and I will think about you everyday. I love you and miss you! Until we meet again, peace.

Mom G (Bobi), Certain people touch our lives in a special way and you did just that. You loved me as one of your own and for that I will be forever grateful. I consider myself extremely blessed as I had the honor of having 2 mom's. You always took time to listen to me and you truly cared. You'll never know just how much you meant to me. I will miss you dearly and always. Love you, Marie

The Lord looked around his marvelous garden and found an empty place and saw my beautiful aunt Irene to fill and lifted you to rest. Now you are in the most wonderful place with the Lord. It broke our hearts to lose you however wonderful memories are with us. Wendy
