"Mom" was my dear friend and the best mother in law a girl could have. I was so blessed to be a part of her life. I have so many treasured memories of our time together. She called me "her little lady" and I will always refer to her as The Grand Lady who had endless humor and grace. I know I will see her again in glory and that will be a happy day! I send my love to all of her family and know that I am there in spirit with each of you.
