Mom miss you so much. You are a great mom.
Your 2 wishes were to attend Troy’s wedding and to hold your great-grandson Sebastian. At least you were able to see Sebastian on video and will be at Troy’s wedding in spirit.
You will be with Dad soon.
You will always be in our hearts.
Look over us from above
Love you, David
Rita, I will cherish the memories we had playing cards, (just so you know, I let you win a few hands). You are missed by so many, I miss you my dear friend… I am so glad I visited you in Vegas. I love you…
David and family,
We are so sorry to hear about your Mom. We know she loved her visits to Las Vegas. May you remember her with all the happy memories she provided through years. Our prayers are with you at this difficult time.
It’s a year today Mom. It doesn’t seem possible. You’ll be with Dad soon. I’ve missed you for twenty-five years now. Arizona was too far away. It took Preacher (Billy) to make me finally understand why you guys moved. Visiting on our vacations really didn’t cut it for me. I always thought I would be with you in the end. My heart will hurt until I have another epiphany. At least your final resting place Montain View is beautiful. I love you!
