I was honored to bring up the gifts at her church services. Alvina always treated me as one of her own. She was loved and will be dearly missed.

Aunt Vi ---

You were always a source of the most remarkable energy and love of life! You were a sun to your family, a center of love and warmth for them to gather round and flourish in. Your joy, your energy, your smile will never be forgotten by all those whose lives you touched, no matter how briefly.

Mom,

You will always stay with me in my heart. The last few years we have shared will be remembered with love.

You are my Angel now.

Love always, Diane
