Maryann it is a time such as this that I reflect back on the days that we shared with your mother on the farm when times where great. Your mother was a wonderful person, hard working, loyal and above all a kind and loving mother-in-law who was always there to guide and help when ever she could. You can be proud to call her your mother and I am glad to have had the privilage of knowing her. With her passing I know that she has touched many lives and her memory will last as an example for the rest of us to live by. She now joins your father as they are meant to be together. My thoughts and prayers are with you Maryann and your surrounding family.
