We can all say truly, a loving wife and mother is gone, a generous neighbor has left us and our hearts are heavy for the loss to her aged companion and her children and grandchildren and her sisters. She possessed a sunny spirit and was much loved by all her neighbors. Rest in peace, wife, mother, sister, neighbor.
