I always loved your mom and admired her greatly. She will be sorely missed by everyone who knew her. She always had a smile and I love that her picture shows her lovely smile. I think she loved everyone she came in contact with. She had such a happy disposition. She was always willing to serve whereever she was needed and never complained about hard work. She loved her husband and her family very much and she made all of you the focus of her life. Knowledge of the plan of salvation and that you can be with her again, still doesn't take away the pain now of not having her with in mortality, but my prayer is that you will be comforted over time. Our family's prayers are with you all this week as you go through this difficult time.
