Jo, Grace and Family, please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of your mother. I belong to the ONIAC with her and Grace. She was a beautiful woman and had a lot of spunk. I lost my mom in 2010 and I am still not and never will be over my loss. She was my best friend and I think about here always. Not a day goes by that I don't miss her. I think of all the good times we've had and now all the memories is all we have. My prayers are with all of you and never lose faith.

The world has lost a beautiful and wonderful woman. Her smile and those eyes that sparkled like no others will be missed immensely. But how fortunate was I to call her my Godmother. So many of my happy childhood memories include my Aunt Connie, who made those summer nights driving through the neighborhood, looking for the "peanut lady" my most memorable. I know she simply went ahead on her journey and look forward to meeting again. My love to her and her family who mean the world to me.
