I had put a prior entry in days ago but I guess it was considered inappropriate by the service-which was intitled "THINGS YOU WILL REMEMBER ABOUT GRACE".So this entry will be short and sweet. Mom we will miss you dearly and we will keep you in our hearst always . Till we see each other again "MOM - WE LOVE YOU!"

A fine lady has gone on to the peace and warmth of Heaven - leaving behind winter's cold.
The world, now; a "less-beautiful" place for many who will miss her very much.
Never forgotten though; because of all the lives she touched with kindness, humor and Love.
May the Angels swiftly carry her to Uncle Joe and may God's Light shine upon them both - Forever.
Heartfelt Sympathy to the Family, many friends,all who Love her along with Prayers for Comfort and Strength when they need it the most.
