    It was our pleasure to know your Mom and be welcomed into her family. We always enjoyed spending time together listening to stories of her children and her adventures! We will long remember your Mom as a loving, remarkable person! May you both, and your extended family, find comfort and peace, with time, in your memories of your Mom.
