From her children:
We will greatly miss our Mother's sense of humor and her overall presence in our lives.  We are grateful for her dedication and sacrifice through the years of being a stay-at-home Mom taking care of us, her children.  We thank her for teaching us to read and write before we were old enough to attend school.
There's comfort in knowing that Mom and Dad are together again.
