Love, Your Daughters

We cherished our mom while she was here with us and will cherish every memory we have of her now that she is gone. Mom was wonderful in so many ways. She was a dedicated wife and devoted to her family and friends. It's difficult to put into words what our mom meant to us but she was everything a mom should be and more. Until we see you again MOM. Forever in our hearts - Your daughters Tammy & Debra
