Mom enjoyed her friendship with Bob, Ruth and Greg Bell. She looked forward to visiting family and friends, watching baseball and listening to the news. A very special thank you to all of the staff at Linhaven. You welcomed us all, loved and took care of Sophie like extended family. For that we will be forever grateful.

"Mom, we will miss your big hugs and lots of kisses, your loving nature and generosity. Mom, we will miss your smiling face and laughter while watching your great grandchildren play. But most of all, we will miss seeing the tender love and devotion you had for Dad. The look in your big eyes when Dad would say, 'you will always be my girl.' United for eternity with the love of your life, Mom, you will live in our hearts forever."
