22 Jan 2021What a beautiful reflection of and tribute to your mother. We were so fortunate to have been blessed with your parents as neighbors for so many years. They left a huge mark on all of us and their memories will be cherished. May you find peace in the knowledge that your parents are together again. Their love for one another and for their family was beautiful.

22 Jan 2021Astrid I cherish the time we had together and coming over for coffee and cake after a long workday… of course with a couple Lotto tickets for you….. I can only imagine how excited you would be to buy a Powerball ticket with the jackpot this large. I also remember all the great dinners and meals we had at your house and how kind and beautiful you were to our family! Much Love
