Mom,
Thank You for being the strong woman that you were. Thank you for your guidance, love, and your protection. Thank You, Mom, for always working so hard to help us when we struggled. Thank you for all the sacrifices you made to make sure we got the help we needed; it didn’t go unnoticed. Thank You the most for just being our mom. I have so many good memories I will always cherish. I love you Mommy unconditionally , and I miss you eternally. Until we embrace each other again I will think of you always.

I always enjoyed hearing her boisterous voice boom out over the phone when I would call for Mike. RIP sweet lady.

I am so sorry for the loss of your sweet wife, mother, and sister. Laura subbed for me many times at Doherty High School. She was always so reliable and great with the kids; however, I loved it most when she subbed for someone else in our department because that meant I got to talk with her. She was such a joy to be around, so kind, thoughtful, and loving! I am blessed to have known her.
