Crowley's,
We seem to owe you a few hundred rides to school (due to your mother's good nature). If you ever need anything (4th for tackle basketball, help in a rock, snowball, or the ever popular apple fight) don't hesitate to call.

Heath, Jeff and John-

My prayers are with you and the rest of your family during these difficult times. Your Mom was a very special person to so many people, including me. I always looked forward to visiting Heath so I could sit and chat with Mom and catch her up on all of the latest gossip. She will be dearly missed, but I know that she is in a peaceful place with Jesus and your Dad now. Much love, Col

Dearest Kate, Heather, Jeff & John,
I'm so sorry for your loss. She was one of my favorite people in the world. I will miss her so much. She touched many lives. My heart is heavy now that she has passed. She is in heaven with the love of her life and I am sure she is smiling from ear to ear because of that. She will always be an angel watching over you, so please take comfort in knowing that.
