She was a wonderful woman and everyone in our enormous family loved her. She offered to give me her wedding dress (I don't intend to use it, one of my cousins can.) We all miss her very much, but she is survived by a small army of children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089197969206589217.post-17024541528525926812013-04-29T16:24:31.219-07:002013-04-29T16:24:31.219-07:00Glad you liked Mom's dress.

Mom and Dad were wonderful parents, we were all very blessed to have them. There was always laughing and singing in our house and everyone was welcome. Dad just passed away on New Year's Eve. We miss them both very much.
