Mom was the most devoted, wonderful and loving lady, to her, family was everything. There was always room in her heart for more friends and family, who all held an honored place in her life. Her great love for horses, dogs, flowers and music was well known. Mom was a very spiritual person and greatly enjoyed cowboy church. Mom will forever be in the hearts of her family and friends.
