Dear Audrey, Carla, Mike, Allan & Families.
God Bless sheld and bless each of you. You were much loved children by many people, but your Mother was a gem in her own right. I am so glad that I got to visit with she and your Dad in their later years. Because of weather and a missing filling I will not be able to come to the services. Please know my sympathies are with you. Carla, get well soon from your surgery.
