To Cheryl who has her compassionate heart, to Randy who has her rebellious strike, To Sam who is her baby but has her strength. She was called home too soon. Her body will no longer fail her or be feeble. It will be grand and strong to match her spirit, which was younger than her years. To Scott, who has her fearless side and was the first to give her a great grandson another person to share a piece of her huge heart with. To Bob who has her wild spirit never to be tamed. To JoAnn who has her name and her love of friends both 2 and 4 legged. To Alex who has her never ending search and love of knowledge. To Sierra who has her carefree spirit. To Rylie who has her love of music, To Chloe who has her love of fashion. To Andrew who has her mischievous side. To Duane who is the man that will always have her heart. They had a love that proves tough times may not last but there love for each other would. To their Children, grandchild and great grandchildren she leaves us all her legacy. We all have the best of her with us and in each of us. HER FEARLESSNESS, HER STRENGTH, HER HUGE CARING HEART, HER SILLYNESS, HER LOYALTY, HER CRAZY SENSE OF HUMOR, HER ABLILTY TO ALWAYS BE A BIG KID, HER LOVE OF PEOPLE AND HER LOVE OF THE FURRY ONES. We are grateful for the years we had but, sad for the days yet lived and memories yet shared. You will forever live within each of us.
