In lieu of flowers

In lieu of flowers, consider a gift to Madrone Hospice.

Mom you were such a kind, loving, caring and giving woman.  You would give the shirt off your back if someone was in need.  Your love and support will truly be missed. You always made me crack up. Your love for your daughters, Husband, grandchildren, great grandchildren, family and friends were felt by all of us. You will live in our hearts forever and you will never be forgotten. Never!!  

My Mom was an amazing gifted Entrepreneur.  She loved photography and had a very special gift. She decided to open up a camera store. She asked me if I wanted to work for her and I said yes. She started her camera store at her house and as it grew she decided to open up a store outside of the house and that's when I started working for her I brought Shane with me when he was about 4 months old and she spoiled him rotten. Mom loved having family involved in the business. As she got bigger she opened up a bigger store and it was beautiful she was so happy. I was really proud of her and her knowledge of cameras.  It was amazing to see her sell cameras from her house to such a great camera store. She earned it. 

Mom had many more accomplishments which my Sister wrote about. She always pursued in life and I'm very proud of her.

The day after my Mom passed away my Son Christopher facebooked me and said Mom go out the front door and look at the rainbow. So I went out the front door and saw the rainbow. I've never seen a rainbow that low in my life and it kept appearing on and off in the same location. It was a sign from Mom letting me know she was happy. Christopher and Kelsey felt the same way. It gave me such a feeling of peace and comfort. Thank you Mom.

Thank you Sis for writing such a beautiful obituary. Thank you everyone for the love and support.
