Our thoughts and prayers for all of you! When the Lord calls our loved ones home, he leaves a gift of memories in exchange. I’ll always remember what a special person your Mom was, always a ready smile and kind words always, to everyone. I enjoyed bowling on the same bowling league at the Bowladrome with her & Linda.
