Wow Alice I don't know where to start, You left us without any warning & we are all still trying to get over the shock. Words can not express what your loss to this family means. Our family was just starting to get over the loss of Mom & Mary now you are gone too. Your Brother & I will watch over the crew they will heal a little with time but the pain will always be there. R.I.P. You are now with your other family... We will miss you.

Cyndi and Sandy and family, I am so extremely sorry for your loss. My heart is aching for all of you right now. I wish that there was something that I could do or something that I could say that would take the pain away. I can't imagine the pain of your loss. May you find strength in each other right now and may the happy memories that Mana leaves behind continue to fill your hearts with love and joy. Again, I am so very sorry. Lots of love to all of you at this very difficult time. Love- Jen
