My sincerest condolences are with you Chris, and your siblings, Sandra and Steven. I had the pleasure of knowing your mom and always appreciated her kindness, warmth and loving nature. She seemed to always have a welcoming smile for you and I know that was genuine. She was a great parent as supported in how her children were all close and with her when she left to be with God. She has her own special cloud; where she will continue to do her good works with others. Don't be surprised if you get indicators of her being with you still. My thoughts are with you at this time. I wish I could be with you today.

My best memories I have are those luncheons and social groups, we worked well together my dear. Oh how I will miss your laughter and all the conversations we had. You made those moments so much fun it made the time go fast. You did so much for the church I hope they appreciated all of your efforts. You were special, and I thank you for being my friend. I love you.
