Mrs. O, you will be sorely missed. I cherish the time I got to spend with you and the family over the past 35+ years. I can’t remember a time when I saw you or talked on the phone when you didn’t have a smile on your face or weren’t in a good mood. You are a ray of sunshine to us all. You are forever in our hearts!

Deb, Carmen, Myself, Catherine, Marie.
