She was a confidante, teacher and friend to many- myself included. A spiritual woman who posesssed an incredible inner beauty and strength. I will celebrate the way she lived her life and strive to make the kind of difference in others lives as she did in mine.
I have no doubt her afterlife consists of an endless amount of the beauty, love and peace she bestowed on so many of us here on earth.
Until we meet again Renee❤️Your wsw, G

Debbie and Sluggy,
Come on, who else remembers that sobriquet. This is Terry Mason. Sorry to see your mom’s obit this morning. I always thought she was a really neat, classy lady. I never realized she was that much younger than my mom either. Take care and contact me through this site if you’d like.

Andy & Debbie , I have been thinking about your mom and thought I would google her name . I was so sad to see she had passed away . I talked to her 12 yrs ago , when our mom passed , to tell you about a memorial gathering we were having . I thought you might want to come since mom thought a lot of you guys . She said you were both very busy and couldn’t make it . I will never forget your mom or the times I spent with all of you . It was a very special time for me and left me with good memories. I’m fighting stage 4 kidney cancer now and have been for a year now . The triplets are all doing well . I’m a wife , mother, grandmother and great grandmother. My sisters and I still talk about Rocky Point and camping with you . We are never ready to lose our mom , no matter how old we are when it happens . I pray you both are doing ok . I know how hard it is to go through . If there’s anything I can do to help please let me know . I’m thinking of you both . God Bless.

How fortunate you both were to have a loving and giving mother. She was able to share her love for you both for so long; what a gift.
