Love you Mom, you will be missed! We had so much fun being together again, after being gone for so long in Florida. We caught up on all the movies, shopping, and going out to eat that daughters are suppose to do with their mothers. Wish we had more time, but dementia beat us out. I’m so glad your at peace now. Love you so very much! Jan L.
She was a wonderful woman. Not only was she my good friends mother, she also put up with me and many teenagers hanging out in her home during the 60’s. Many good times we had, and I appreciate the fact that she was so open and giving to all of us. You will be sorely missed Eileen, and you will always have a special place in my memories.
Thank you Val, Mom really enjoyed her time when we visited your place in the summertime.
I was so blessed to have you as my mom. You were always there for me. I was there for you in return. Peace and rest for you now, I will see you again when I return to Heavenly Father. Always Love For You, Your Daughter Connie. ❤️
