    Mom, I love you and miss you very much! I was so blessed to get to share both Thanksgiving and Christmas with you last year and will always cherish our nightly dinners and games of Yahtzee and Uno! Rest in Peace knowing that your Yahtzee record of over 700 and something will probably stand for eternity. I’ll always take care of your daughter Sue, until death do us apart and I’ll always pray for you! Love, your son in-law Greg.

    My second Mom. 💖 Took me to Sheridan Park pool in the summertime and taught me to swim and dive,
    & vacation bible school at Prince of Peace Church.
    Always kept an eye on us after school while my parents were working . Thank you for everything!
    You will be missed.
    Love Janet
