Mrs. U was a life long friend to me. She always treated me with love, kindness, respect, and compassion for 25 years. She taught me many heartfelt lessons that I will never forget. We shared much laughter together. She was an unselfish mother who never tired of caring for her family. She will be greatly missed by all . Although we have many many memories she left us too early. Mrs. U will live in my heart and mind always. I am richer for knowing her. Life will not be the same. Her legacy is her family. May they continue to cherish her memory. NOTHING meant more to her then them. I am going to miss you........
