A special thank you to Mom’s home care workers.
Mom’s greatest passion in life was her family and her loving husband. Family was everything and she leaves behind so many beautiful memories that we will forever cherish. Even though Mom had to overcome many difficult challenges with her health for her entire life, she always put others first – her love for all of us was unconditional.
As per Mom’s request, there will be no funeral service. Cremation has taken place and Dad has brought Mom back to our family home, as she would have wanted.
Rest In Peace Beautiful Lady – you will live on in our hearts forever.
In lieu of flowers, a donation to a charity of your choice would be appreciated.

a wound that will never quite heal.” – Susan Wiggs
