Faith & family, I remember going to your mother's house as a little girl. She and my mother were friends for many years. After I married she came to my house with my mother for lunch. We had a wonderful time. She had learned that I received only one set of sheets as a shower gift, so in her kind way she surprised me with another set. We still use the teak wood salad set that she gave Jon and I as a wedding gift. I think of her every time that we use them. I am saddened by her passing, but I am so glad that I was blessed to know her. She was always so much fun and so 'up beat.' Although it has been quite a few years since I last saw her, she is still so fresh in my memory. She was a very kind, fun, and likeable person. I always loved her animated conversations. Her happiness was contageous. My thoughts and prayers are for you at this sad time for you all. May God take her immediately into heaven. Our loss is heaven's gain. Love, Karla

I KNOW YOU WILL MISS HER, BUT BE COMFORTED IN KNOWING SHE IS IN A BETTER PLACE & AT PEACE.
