Tim, Matt, I will miss your mom, my friend so very much. I loved her like a sister. My deepest sorrow is that I will never see her in this life again and this world is a much sadder place without her. Love each other and stand by each other as she would want. She loved her family so much and I know she was so proud of you.

We were deeply sorrowed when we heard about your loss. Your Mom was a wonderful woman, kind and warm, even at first introduction. She made us feel welcome in her home, we were blessed to have been in her company.

She is in our prayers, Lee and Chrystal Morrison
