Your mom will be missed for her wit, her sense of humor, her graciousness, but mostly her love for her family. She had an ability to find the humor in most of life, a quality that her children and all who knew her were blessed to experience. She was an amazing and beautiful lady.
Our deepest sympathy to the family. May the good Lord embrace you all with peace and comfort. May she rest in peace.
With deepest condolences to you and your brothers families over the loss of your mother.
