I knew your mom once, Steve. As a child... She did what she could to help me, social constraints considered. I'm sorry to hear she is gone.

What a beautiful lady. So grateful for the many precious memories I was privileged to share with her. Alzheimer's never took her feisty personality! It was a joy to be her caregiver...but mostly her friend! Heaven is no doubt a little more joyous since my Mrs Vel is there. Rest in His arms my sweet friend. We'll miss you & remember & love you always!...Melinda & Ronnie
