Robert,Mike,Kenny and Sherry,I am sorry for your loss and you have my deepest sympathy.
I just want the family to know the last few weeks of taking care of your mom and your grandmother were amazing moments in my life. Hearing the stories she told over and over, There is no better feeling knowing that you were there when your parents needed you. Through good times and bad I know she felt loved being with us. I know she was and is very proud of all of her kids.
