She is greatly missed, but we know, securely and contentedly in the hands of her Lord. An Angel from Earth has moved to Heaven. Goodbye. God Bless. We Love You!

Then one of her favorite songs that we three "Charming Ruffian" Sons of hers would sing to her....usually after we knew we were in trouble, because it always made her smile.
