stephnewyork34 Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Thank you soooo much for puttin g this on the board, I meant to when it was written but just forgot, thank you soooooooooooo much. That photo was of Mom on Cris' wedding in fall of 1999. Mom was soooo beautiful and I miss her sooo much. Also in lieu of flowers, I and Mom would like people to donate to the LC board, yes this one you are on. My stepfather and sister didnt' believe this was more than just a "chat" and they decided to have people send money to the AZ cancer, I think that is good, but I know Mom loved this board, so I know she would like money to go here also. Thanks again Rochelle. Stephanie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Karen C. Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Stephanie - I will NEVER forget your mother's winning smile! What a knockout - beautiful woman! You are SO lucky to have had her for your mom and I think you know that! I love the obit - I loved the line about moving to Tucson to get warm. This is obviously a woman with a great sense of humor and lots of love in her life. I am saddened by your loss, but joyful for you having had such a wonderful Mom. Not everyone is given that gift. Please keep in touch with us and stay on the board. Love, Karen C. (David C's wife) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
