Melody, Logan and Haley your mother and grandmother was the most special person I have ever known. She had a heart of gold! She was the person who was always there for her family and friends. She was a generous person if you needed it and she had it she would make sure you got it. Keith and I feel so blessed that she was our friend. It is a great loss now not to be able to be with her. But we will meet again! I know she is happy to be with Neal and her mom and dad and other loved ones.
