“Mom was one of the hardest-working women I have ever known. She spent her life in service to her family, her church, and her friends and relatives. Her devotion to dad was exemplary and touching. They made the "perfect couple"! Her union with him lasted for many wonderful years, creating many wonderful memories that will keep mom's memory in all of our hearts for the rest of our lives! To mom: Thank you for helping me and the rest of our family become better people in this world!”
