"What a true gem of a person. Where do you begin with 65 years of memories behind us. Time travels so fast. You had four kids and I had five. We did so many things together. Playing cards , drinking beer, staying together laughing until the sun came up in the morning. You kids and mine all still remain cousins and still are together. But , I’m the only mom left in the group. Always remember if you need anything and I can help please let me know. I’m here and I love each and everyone of you like my own. Your mom was so good to all of you. It’s hard to grasp but her pain and suffering and memory loss are all left behind. She is free of all that pain. She is in peace rejoicing with Brian and all the rest of her loved ones, and her sweetheart mother, Grandma Ruth.. Our Lord will take over now. My sympathy is with all of you kids.💕💕 Love, Aunt Una"
