Taken from us one year ago today and much too soon. There’s never a day we don’t wish to see you and talk and laugh. We miss your Facebook banter, your baking and your warm interest and care in our lives. It’s hard to see all the things you are missing out on that you would have enjoyed so much. Remembered always with much love and fondness, your family.
