My love to you and Mike and all your family. Stay strong, knowing that you did everything you could for her and that she is in paradise now – and take good care of yourself through the grieving process. So wish I could be there with you.

Marie, Paul and Bill, I am sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. She was so kind and like a second mother to me. I remember taking her to meet your father every Saturday over to Minquadale where they got together with family and friends. She will be missed.
