Allison, Brenda, Mike and all the extended family, I am very sorry for your loss and pray that God lays healing hands on you all. Your mom/grandmother/mother-in-law was a very special person and will be missed. I couldn’t imagine she gave up too easily and that only makes her loss harder but her strength will perservere in all of you and she will have a constant smile on her face while watching over you all.
