We will miss her beautiful voice and funny made up songs, her crazy stories and unsurmountable love she had for her grandchildren. There was a song for everything, either making you laugh until you couldn’t breathe or cry from how beautiful she sounded. She had an undeniable love of music and horses that filled her life as well.

Her legacy is her family, and her greatest joy were her children and her grandchildren. I read somewhere that behind all stories is your mom’s story because that is where you begin, and that is so very true.

Mom, We will miss you forever! We love you and know that you are an Angel in Heaven watching over us and keeping us safe.

“I’d like the memory of me to be a happy one.

I’d like to leave an after-glow of smiles when life is done.

I’d like to leave an echo, whispering softly down the ways.

Of happy times and laughing times and bright sunny days.

I’d like the tears of those who grieve to dry before the sun.

Of happy memories that I leave when life is done.”
