I am so sorry for your loss. I know Mom wasn’t herself towards the end but she was happy for the most part. She always had the sweetest smile on her face. It was an honor and a pleasure to get to know her and take care of her. She will always be loved and missed.

Gone from our sight, but never from our hearts. We have so many special memories of Aunt Doris. Know that you and the kids are in our prayers and while we feel the pain of loss, I can see Uncle Mott smiling down as he is reunited with his best friend.
