I wish I made time to watch her make the cinnamon rolls she was famous for but I didn't. They were the best and so was she. She was such a sweet lady and my sympathy to all the family. Cathy Dawson Maes

Sending our deepest sympathy to all of my cousins. Even though our time together was always short, we were always excited when you all came to grandpas and grandmas. There was one Special time I had with your mom....its when she came to sit with my mom on one of her last days. That always meant a lot to Dad and our family. God Bless all of you......I know she was Special to many.

What an awesome lady and one of the best cooks I've ever known. She went on her terms leaving one of her greatest gifts, a pan of her cinnamon rolls. Dieu La Vitesse, Patricia.

To all the Schwartz kids, I was so sad to hear about your Mom. She was such a fun person to be around and I have such fond memories of her. She was a great cook, very creative, and had a fabulous sense of humor. She was also a good friend to my Mom and always seemed to be giving and helping others. Please know that I am thinking of you all during this difficult time.
