Mom you are at peace now. You are loved and will leave a void in our lives. I am so thankful for the time I have had with you and would not change that I got to spend with you for anything in the world. You have been a big influence in my life and I couldn’t thank you more for such a wonderful son. I am truly blessed to be his wife and to have you for my mother-in-law. I love you!

I loved your humor and you always seemed happy. thank you for your son Chuck, who certainly has your wit, and sharing him with my daughter Heide. I know you will surely be missed. It is easy to see you have touched many lives and those that were lucky to know you love you. As you look down on all of us, we are looking to the heavens knowing you are at peace and are greatful for you and all you shared with us. You are an awesome lady.
