Jean and myself used to go to Mayo Clinic for appointments. She introduced me to Frango Mints. They are Amazing ! This was on our Macy trip at Christmas! We would also pick up her Estée Lauder Perfume and lotion. She loved getting out when she could. These memories are very special to me. She was full of life, and had love in her heart. I loved baking with her at Thanksgiving. I will continue to do so, and will be thinking of her. I’m so thankful, for the close relationship I had with her.

I miss you so much Mom Rat. I’m so thankful for the close friendship we had. You became my best friend. We always looked out for each other. You always said we do for one another, because we love each other.

I am so sorry for your loss and will fondly remember all the late nights spent with Robyn and Jean having to tell us to be quiet. I remember the chocolate chip cookies and her big heart. She would loan her car to us and we would “cruise” in what I considered her luxury vehicle. She always treated me like one of her own and I will always treasure the memories. May she rest in heavenly peace.
