To Ernie, Steve, Ginger and Keith your mother was a great person and a good friend. It was nice visiting with her at her 90th birthday party. She was smiling and laughing, just having a great time. She will be missed, but GOD now has her in his kingdom.

My memories of your Mom are wonderful, from her beautiful smile to her generous spirit. I always felt love in her presence. I can still picture my Mom and Dot sitting at a kitchen table talking and laughing while they shooed us all away. And one of my best times as a kid was sleeping over at Dot and Ernie’s house.
To her children Ernie, Ginger, Steve, and Keith you are lucky to have had her for a Mom. To Roger, Helen, Nancy and Phyllis, I know your memories will sustain you. My heart is with all of you.
Peace and Love
