I was so sad when I heard of the death of your dear mother. She was a good friend of mine and the Spreitzer family. She would call me on my birthday (Feb 12) and I would call her on her birthday (May 21st). Your mom was and is a very special and spiritual lady who loved her family and her church.

What a wonderful woman your mom was. Always so kind and thoughtful. We loved visiting your house when we were young. It was always a place of love and happiness. She will be missed.
