Thank you for being my friend. You were like a Mom to me. Enjoy your rest, you earned it.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family. I am glad I got to see Aunt Jane while in Oklahoma a few years back. I will always remember her for the fun we had and the best peanut brittle she used to make. Love, Chris
