Condolence: Maria - I am sorry to hear about your Mom. She always had a smile and was always very welcoming when I came to the house with Lorena. I may have been out of touch -- but have fond memories of the time we did spend together. I am sorry that I missed the services as I just saw the notice. My best to you, Michael and your children.

Thank You for being my Nonie and taking care of me. I hope that you are happy in heaven I Love You With All My Heart, Your Granddaughter Sophia

Condolence: My Grandmother was the type of Grandmother who only cared for the future of her children and her grandchildren, she would always want us to be safe, and she would tell us to help our Mother. She was always willing to help with raising us, before she moved in with us we would go to her house at least once a month. She was most happy when she saw us happy and good to one another. She worked hard in her youth to to raise a family. You could tell she was a good wife to because she took care of my grandfather. It was nice to have her in our house and made me feel good to know that she was there it made our house a home. she would walk up the driveway ( which was long) with no assistance and she went with us to many places. I didn't expect her to go so soon, but now that shes gone the house feels rather empty. My siblings, my cousins, and I were lucky enough to have had her as one of our two amazing grandmothers. She will definitely be missed, but now God has an Angel with him.

Condolence: It is said that a mother is the school of the heart, I know that first hand as I have been married to this woman's Daughter for 15 yrs. A Mother’s love is something that no on can explain, It is made of deep devotion and of sacrifice and pain, It is endless and unselfish and enduring come what may For nothing can destroy it or take that love away . . . It is patient and forgiving when all others are forsaking, And it never fails or falters even though the heart is breaking . . . It believes beyond believing when the world around condemns, And it glows with all the beauty of the rarest, brightest gems . . . It is far beyond defining, it defies all explanation, And it still remains a secret like the mysteries of creation . . . A many splendorous miracle man cannot understand And another wondrous evidence of God’s tender guiding hand.

Condolence: My heart goes out to you! What a beautiful family and a wonderful women. She always made us feel like family when we came over. Kati loved visiting with her and we enjoyed just sitting and talking. Our prayers are with you. Love Debbie, Kati, Dillon
