I still remember the first time I met this beautiful lady... 1972... she jumps out of a friends van with a mini skirt and go*go boots on! She is the most remarkable lady I have ever met. Raising you 4 boys and still looking like she was in her 30's, you guys were very lucky to have had such a great Mom. She welcomed me to the family with open arms and I loved her as if she were my own. I have missed her more then you will ever know. My heart goes out to each and every one of you because I know what pain and hurt you are going through at this time. She loved life just as she loved each of you. Now I'm sure she is with her sister and the two of them are talking so fast that they are talking on top of each other, but each one knows what the other is saying. Basically it was always the same... they both loved their family and were proud of them! God has welcomed her as she always welcomed people into her life. God be with you all and bless you so that you can keep her memory going through your thoughts and actions,

Jack and family-- you are in my thoughts and prayers. Sorry for your  loss of your mom, here on earth-yet she lives on  in you.

On January 11, 2014 Our Lord and Savior welcomed home my Grandmother with open arms and as she passed through the gates of heaven all the pain and suffering disappeared and there was peace and happiness all around you. Grandma when you walk with God ask him to lift  the pain and sorrow in our hearts of your passing and help us to remember you and all the wonderful memories we have stored with in us... 

Love Jim Wendy and Samantha Kelly

To a wonderful woman that filled a spot in my heart with so much love. You welcomed me in your life the first day I met you and always showed me nothing but love. You raised four sons, one that has become a very important part of my life. He has great values which he shows everyday and these he got from you. He shows love and compasion to others everyday. Thank you so much for instealing these in him when he was young. I love you just like a mom and you will be missed. I know you are in a better place and will be in great health now. Knowing this is what we get us through our time of sorrow. I also know you will meet my mom and the two of you will get along so great. You will be missed but we will see each other again one day.Love and miss you Gloria

Mom,
   You  are missed but you are without pain now and with family,Brother and sister in Heaven. I will miss you but will make it thru life without you until we can be together again. You brought many happy times to my life, you where there when I fell down to pick me up. You supported me in my journey in life, in your eyes I could do no wrong, but me and you both know I put you to the test. I still have the great memories that we had in your life. You made a great run and I will be with you again later, have fun and get caught up with everything with everybody you have missed and save me a spot Love You

My Mother and best friend will be missed by all but for sure by me. We had a lot of fun together riding around looking at people when I should have been working. Going out on the boat and letting the wind and surf spray on our faces. Setting on a boat dock or the bank of the river with our feet in the water just watching people. Talking for hours on the phone while I was driving my truck across county not talking about nothing, Coming home and cooking for her when see couldn't get around to good so she wouldn't have stand and cook. Going out to eat and just having fun, I have had a lot of fun with my mother and she will be missed, but she is without pain now and with her brothers, sister and friends, but one day I will be with her again and we will have a lot of catching up to do. And some people will say that her pain will be back, not saying that I cause her any pain but some would say that I was wild and give her a lot to worry about, but all said and done we both care and loved each other more then any words could ever tell. Love and miss you mom see you later save me a spot.

I LOVE YOU GRAMS.. I will always love you and miss you dearly. I will always remeber the wonderful times we have shared. And  your pretty smile and always hiding your face  when a picture was to be taken.. Rest  in peace my beautiful Grams..
