Our deepest sympathy goes out you, Gale and Randy on your lose. Our thought and prayers are with the both of you and the rest of the family at this time of sorrow. She is in a much more happier place now with family and friends. Who knows her and Marian(mom) might be busy with their crafts or just catching up on old times.
