    My memories of your mother always start with a beautiful smile . She was a lovely lady and I am saddened to hear of her passing. I know you will miss having her here but what a blessing to know that she is with her Lord and Savior.
    Sending my love,
    Pat Allen

    So sorry to see that your mother passed. She was a beautiful lady inside and out. When my mom was there for rehab, your mother was head of the welcome committee that came to her room to bring a "happy welcome." What a tremendous ministry she did while at Silver Cross.

    You have always been so very loved by everyone in our family. You and Uncle Juele raised a wonderful family. Just as you was blessed to have them, they were just as blessed to have you. We find relief in knowing you are no longer suffering from the physical pain of the virus you had. The Lord chose to lift you up into Heaven, cure you from all illness and pain, and let you spend eternity with Him and all your family and friends who preceded you on this journey. We will miss you so very much, but we will cherish the memories you have left us and the love you always shared. We know the time will come when we will all be together again.

    With love forever and beyond,
    Steve and Brenda Porter
