A beautiful story of a beautiful person. Cindy, Wonita, Susie, Linda and David - Brian, Davis and I are deeply saddened by your loss. I know that your Mom was a pillar of strength for all of you. She raised five wonderful and caring children that in many ways exhibit her grace, sense of humour, and sheer determination. She always had a big smile and great food on the table, welcoming guests into your home. And, I loved to hear her infectious laugh. May she rest in peace as she joins your Dad in heaven.
