Steve and family – I’m so sorry for your loss. Your mother was a god send to me when my daughters were younger – she was more like a grandmother to them than babysitter – they always had a great time at her house and I knew they were in good hands. She was a very talented, giving and kind lady – who always had a big smile for all.
Sending my sympathy and prayers – God bless you all.
