Our hearts are filled with sadness at your loss and we extend our deepest sympathies to you and your family. Although distance and time took many of us in different directions over the past 43 years, your mom was a wonderful friend and sister-in-law. Memories of our family get-togethers, especially birthdays, holidays, and family reunions will be forever held dear. Please know that we share in your grief. You are all in our thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time. We will miss her.
