Beloved and adored wife of Edward. Loving and caring mother of Bernard, Michael Bates, Christina & Rob Donawa and Dawn Bates. Perhaps you sent a lovely card, or sat quietly in a chair. Perhaps you sent a funeral spray, if so we saw it there. Perhaps you spoke the kindest words, as any friend could say; perhaps you were not there at all, just thought of us that day, whatever you did to console our hearts, we thank you so much whatever the part.
