Jacinda, I am very sorry to hear about the passing of your mother.....I just learned of this today. I remember your Aunt Willi showing me a picture of your mom when you were a little girl and I remember how beautiful the flowers were in her yard. I never forgot that. I went thru this myself nine years ago with my dad...just know my prayers are with you and your family. With love, prayers and peace......Tina Matejek

Connie, In my life you were as close as a Sister, more comforting than a Mother and most of all a Friend. Sometimes life takes us down avenues that separate us and we aren't sure how to get back on the same road. I know my heart will forever cherish and hold on to the memories of you in Amy and I's life.
