Debbie, Anthony, AJ, Justin and Jim. Saying I’m sorry just isn’t enough. As much as I wish there to be, no words can make this time easier for you. Know that I am here for you no matter what and know God’s love is surrounding you more than ever right now.
I loved your Mom very much and had so many good times growing up – many shopping trips to South County Mall, spending weekends at Ruth and Henry’s and especially all of the Sunday dinners and time spent at Poppy and Grammy’s house are just some of the memories I will forever cherish because of her.
I love you all.
