Your mother will be very well missed. She was a great woman, and fun to talk with, Especially about her family. She had nothing but loving thoughts of all of you. You meant the world to her.



The only good thing out of this, is that she is no longer in pain, and can now be together again with her soulmate.(Phil). Oh, how we know she missed him.

We all know she is in good hands now. No need to worry.



With love and sympathy, Joe, Sherry and boys.
