Mom you were the rock Of The Family, you would have to be because you are a grandmother, a great grandmother, and a great great grandmother. You’re very loving and funny as hell. I remember when John and I moved you from Canyon City Co. down into Tx we had many laughs driving and your dog Sam Sam ended up, loving me because she had nowhere to hide but my lap. I love you, mom and I will miss you.
