Sandra and Jimmy we wish to express our sorrow in the loss of your beautiful mother. She is remembered as she was with the beautiful blue eyes and black hair with kindness and love to all that knew her. I know there are no words to express the sadness we feel about how time takes a toll on us all; we can only remember how it once was and be happy and rejoice in our memories. I must add that it is not the end; we will see her again when the time comes. With love, Marie
