We are very sorry to hear of the passing of such a beautiful lady. Last time we saw her was in Pittsburgh. She was there with Bill. One of my dads all time favorites. It was easy to see why.
It was a pleasure to know her and be her nurse. She will be missed. Give Wallace love from me. May God wrap you all in His loving embrace during this time.
My deepest sympathy for the loss of your beloved mother. The above picture is exactly how I remember her at family gatherings. May she rest peacefully, and may you all feel the love and comfort of her heavenly spirit as she continues to guide you. Love and Hugs.
