    Bruce, Brenda, Michele, Christine…there are just no words to describe how sorry I am and how much I love your mom. She was one of the best. We think of her often, especially when we get together to play cards…I will never forget her laugh. Hold tight to your memories, they will get you though. Love and miss you all.
