I will miss you. My cousin.
Because of her I will always remember, “Love First.”
God bless Tom, Dottie and their family.
You will truly be missed. I looked forward to your daily post. Loved your hair days, how would I know, etc. They would always make me smile. You always had the best smile and sense of humor. We were so lucky to have such a funny, kind, beautiful and loving cousin.

We make many friends along our life journey. Some come and go, but others stay forever enduring distance and time. I remember meeting you 30 years ago when the girls started school and our shared love of all things family and crafting made us fast friends. We partnered in “room momming”, girl scouting, little leagueing and party planning – crafting all the way. We leaned on each other for support ” warrior style” as advocates for our kiddos on their health care journeys when Sean was born and then when Nicole got sick and later sharing our own health journeys. I envied your undying strength, positivity and humor through it all. After the kiddos grew i realized my first “mom friend” was now a true friend friend. I will miss your daily humorous posts, your fierce love for your family and friends and our random texts to just say hi. You know I don’t drink but I’ll think of you every time I pick up a crochet hook.😉
I will hold your memory close until we meet again my friend. ❤️ 💔❤️
