Your smile could light up any room and you always seemed to have one. Although we didn’t know you very well, you always welcomed us with open arms and made us feel like family. The care and love for your family showed through every interaction and it was a great privilege to know you and be in your presence. Tonight we said our “see you laters” and know you are watching over all who love and miss you already. Our thoughts are with the family as they travel forward without you and hope they are able to find peace and comfort in their many wonderful memories of you at the helm. You taught and guided them through life’s journey because that is what a caring and loving wife, mother, and grandmother does and you provided them with the tools they will need to walk the rest of their path as you fly gracefully above every step of the way. Condolences and big hugs to Mike, Angie, Chuck, Amy, Sheldon, Randy, Hailey and the rest of the family, may you find comfort in the fact she was a wonderful woman who loved you all!
