I know she is now in the prettiest flower garden ever. She so loved her yard, her Iris bed, roses, other flowers and her little squirrels that she fed every day. Rest in Peace Mom.
Sorry, I forgot to sign the previous post but Mom knew who it was.

We had so much fun playing "penny slos" together during her annual Reno trips or at a local casino. I loved our get togethers and I know she was at peace knowing this life was not her final destination. I will miss you Mom!
