We all loved her and we miss her. Heaven has a beautiful angel.We miss you Mama. Love forever, Rebecca (Becky) and Erica (Eri)

She was the best Mama we could ever have and the best wife our
father could ever have known. She fought cancer bravely for seven
years and in those seven years she became the most wonderful role
model for my life. She was also my best friend. I am blessed for ever having her and wait for the day when I can see her again.
Hugs and Kisses, Mama:
Love always and forever,
your Becky
