Our gratitude to Leeann and Delbert for their unyielding faith in His grace and family; your presence eased her transition and enabled mom and us to make our final connections.

Our heartfelt love for LaNell whose life long friendship is inspiring! Her friendship holds a special place in our hearts.

We'll remember our mom as a free spirit living life on her terms, facing obstacles with bold tenacity. Mom's sojourn ended at her home town of Thayer resting with her parents. Blessings and gratitude to all who loved her.
