In lieu of flowers, should you wish to honor her memory, please make a donation to the Alzheimer's Association to help others who suffer from Alzheimer's. You may also honor her by thinking of her while walking the beach looking for shells or reading a good romance book, listening to some good toe tapping music or watching old Elvis movies, going on camping trips or visiting amusement parks. May we always remember the twinkle in her eyes and the smile on her face that lit up the room especially when seeing a man in uniform. Last but not least, for those of you who were lucky enough to have had her as your real mom, neighborhood mom, or as a babysitter, you will have known what love is and should
know how to share it.
