I am so sorry for your loss,Curt and Kathy. Your Mom was such a sweet and loving lady. I always enjoyed talking with her at family gatherings,she could always make me laugh.And with all the kids in our family she remembered each one of them at Christmas. Curt, take comfort in knowing that you were the best son a Mom could ask for. And now there is an Angel in Heaven making her famous Deviled eggs! Love to all, Aunt Cyndi

Thank you to all who will help us get thru these hard times. My mom was strong and fought the good fight until she had no fight left, then she left without a sound.
