Your mom was a lovely woman, always helping others in a caring and compassionate way. When my mom was no longer able to drive, she went out of her way to offer her a ride so that she could go to "West Weds"! I know that you will dearly miss her. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Fondly, Judy Schwab Byrnes

Thinking of you all, sending lots of love and hugs. I didn't get to know her until she was sick-- but she must have been one heck of a woman to raise such wonderful, loving, thoughtful, caring daughters. You are all such a wonderful living legacy.
