So very sorry to hear of your mothers passing. We spent many years working together in the Treasurers office. She was very dedicated to her work and also knew how to have a good time. She loved her family very much and will be missed. My thoughts are with you and your family at this time of sadness.

Thank You Shelley for the love and prayers when they are needed the
most.
Please except our sincere condolences in the loss of your Mother, Sister, Grandmother and my Dearest Niece. I always felt not like a relative but a very close friend. It gives me great joy just remembering the fun things we did together. We will always remember in our hearts the fun loving person she was.
I am sorry that we can not be there but Texas is a long way from Idaho and I don’t think I could make it in time for the service, but please know I am sending this with love and that y’all are in my prayers. We should celebrate her life, she was one in a million.
I am so sorry for your loss.
