Our mom was the most beautiful person; she was tender loving and would do what she could to make you welcome. She loved to take care of her family, keep her home and yard. That was her passion. She loved to cook and try out new recipes. Her children adored her. She was always by her husband's side through the good times and the hard times. She helped us celebrate many happy occasions and will be so dearly missed. We love you mom, "until we meet again in Heaven".
