Our hearts have been made to rejoice during the illness and passing of our mom, by the

sympathy are greatly appreciated.
A special hug from us goes out to Nera – who was a true friend and who helped care for
her every Monday and Friday and many days in between, Jesse – who was always there
whenever needed and was always checking on her and Lorie Ann (Grandma) – words
cannot express how much we appreciate the love and care she gave to our mother. From
the moment she met her until her very last breath. You took her under your wing as if
she were your own mom. You will always remain a part of our family.
