“Our mother’s greatest joy was her family. She devoted her life to loving and caring for those closest to her, and nothing made her happier than time spent together. She found beauty in life’s simple pleasures—tending her flower garden, watching her beloved hummingbirds, creating with her sewing and doing the hair of her good friends every Friday. Thursdays held a special place in her heart, as she always looked forward to spending the day with Lance. She also cherished the lifelong bond she shared with her brothers and sisters. Her love, kindness, and devotion to family will remain in our hearts forever.”
