Marty, Jeff, Greg and Gene. Your mom will surely be missed. She was a great woman with a heart of gold and
I owe her so much. She taught me to can, freeze and preserve. She taught me some cooking. She was always
there whenever anyone needed her. She laughed with all that she had and was always fun and she loved to
prank people. She caught me the first year Larry & I were married and she never ever let me forget that she
caught me. I was always on guard on April Fools Day but she didn’t try again for over 25 years and then she
caught me again and laughed and laughed and laughed. Oh, those memories. I wish you all peace and
comfort and the ability to bring up all of those memories you have to keep her close to you in your hearts.
Love, Aunt Jan

She Was a Wonderful Mighty Woman of God who feared God and Loved all people. You all are in my prayers. I am so Thankful my path crossed with hers she had a great wealth of knowledge and loved to laugh, she would cry when she saw people hurt and suffer. . May you all fell the Love of God Being Wrap in His arms these next few week and years to come. Love you all Louis Castaneda.

My heart goes out to Marty, Jeff, Gregg and Gene on the passing of your mom. She was a wonderful aunt and always told me that it was nice to have a girl around when we visited for tea and cookies. She even taught me how to decorate cakes and I helped her with Marty’s graduation cakes. I enjoyed every visit and will miss her a lot. Hugs to all of you!!
