    Today is so strange, we are burying our loving mother, yet we cannot be there. Instead we have two gracious and wonderful cousins standing in for us. Sandra Evans Berryhill Alesich and Denise Bowman.

    Mom was loving, thoughtful, hard headed, and caring. She would help you in any way she could but also insisted you stand on your own two feet. She loved us, nurtured her children as well as her grandchildren and great grandchildren. All she ever wanted was the best for all of us, and now I’m sure she has found her reward. When you see a butterfly light on a purple flower that is mom sowing her love. -Michael
