    Your mother had a beautiful smile and I can sure tell why you would all miss that smile. I just met you folks last Tuesday. I wish I would have got to know your mom. We would have had several things in common to talk about. She was bless to have you all with her to the end of her earthly journey. Sondra Knobloch, Hospice Volunteer

    Joe,Tom & Families, Sorry to hear of your Moms passing. I didn't get to know her until several years ago. Different times when I would be at Krista's and see your Mom in her yard or on her porch I would walk over & we would sit on her porch and have many long good visits, like we had known each other for a long time. I will sure miss not seeing her in the yard or on her porch and our visits. She was a sweet, hard working lady, even at her age. May God and happy, loving memories of your Mom, comfort and give you peace now and always. With sympathy, Karyl & Terry
