Tracy, Greg ad Kim and Family, Mom's life made a big difference in many. Her loving and positive personality touched many of us blessed enough to know her. I pray you have divine comfort and know that she holds a very special place in the hearts of all. Never forget the joy she found in our Savior Jesus Christ and His promise of eternal life. You will be in my prayers.

You will be missed more than you could ever imagine. But you are in the Glory of God now, which is how we find comfort. Miss you and love you dearly.
Forever, Me.
