Personal note from Debra and Malysa

Thank you to everyone for your love and concern for our mother. We appreciate the many kind and thoughtful cards, messages and prayers. Mom was the most selfless and generous lady anyone could imagine. Yet, she was stubborn, strong, and willful. We will miss her tremendously. Her passing leaves a void emptiness in our hearts that can never be filled. Yet, we are grateful for the longevity of her life, and the many memories we we able to share together. Our comfort comes from the peace in knowing that families and love are forever, and that through the atonement of our Savior, Jesus Christ, we will be united with her again someday. All that we are, or ever hope to be we owe to the love and sacrifice of our angel mother. With great love, gratitude, and respect, Debra and Malysa
