I am glad I was able to visit you last last year and hear all of your wisdom, stories, and praise for the family. You were intelligent , loving , and forthcoming about all of your thoughts and emotions. We had a great day after many years. Your gift of love was obvious when VJ , Debbie , Amanda, Sylvia, Jayden , ( and Debs Children ) would ensure your were comfortable, looked after and retrofitted to take calls , listen to music , and remain engaged with your entire family. That transferable love was indeed passed down to your children and grandchildren. I enjoyed our phone conversations and tell your stories to my little Jett and Zac who have much of your spirit and energy. I know dad always thinks of you so dearly and you are now in a better place after creating much impact on so many people. Your story will love on and your memory never forgotten as you have never forgotten any of us. Distance and time is only a small thing that truly doesn’t matter when you have a life of gratitude and love for everyone and everything. Love you always and see you soon !
