We love and are going to miss you Mom! All the great times you were with us and having so much fun with the grandkids. You gave so much to them and us. I will never be able to thank you for all the help as we were getting settled in Dallas to go to Bible Clooage. You made so many trips to make sure the kids were not lonely and cared them back and forth to their friends in Wichita. You were such blessing! Now in the arms of Jesus please say hi to all the family!
