Your patience, your ability to make people laugh, the stories you would tell and laughs we would have. You impacted many family and friends with your gift of making bracelets -this truly was your passion in life. Her desire was to have everyone share a meal with her. We didnt have to ask mom twice if she wanted to go to Jackpot, she was ready and packed to go. When we think of you we see you smiling and laughing -you had such a unique laugh. Mom, we know God has taken you to a pain free place where you are finally with dad. We love you mom. The family would like to express sincere thanks to the care that was provided by Dr. Adebayo Crownson and staff, St. Lukes Hospice staff with special thanks to Sarah LaRochelle.
