Taken from us, it's so hard to believe. A gentle soul who touched us all, you picked us up when we would fall. Your smile, your style, your laugh, your eyes, etched in our hearts deep inside. Your hopes, your dreams, your wishes too, left incomplete, we will carry through. On that grand stage for the angels you'll play, a light that was extinguished, when God took you away. Until we are together again.... Forever loved, your family and friends." Funeral services will be held 11 A.M. Tuesday Nov. 20, 2012 at the Troutman-Warker Funeral Home, 726 High Street, Pottstown.
