Mom I will miss our discussions about recipes, the funny things that our dogs did ,and the time we spent out side doing gardening. The times we would tease you about speeding around the yard in your cart. Rest in peace you deserve it.
Mom, you were the best Mother-in-Law I could have received. Your constant quiet supportive voice about life and its ups and downs, was treasured by me. Give Lyman Jr. A big hug. Loved you both.with my whole ♥️ . May all the great memories give the family comfort.
