Just want you all to know how very sorry I am for the loss of your mother. I just loved her and will surely miss her. Take care and please keep in touch. Much love your cousin Joyce.

Aunt Angie always made sure that each member of the large family had a unique hand crafted item. I have a cross-stitched wedding sampler, my daughter's cross-stitched birth sampler, "A Gift of Love" block which tells me to hold it close to my heart when I'm lonely and know she's thinking of me, numerous handcrafted lace or plastic Christmas ornaments and angels, handmade and strung beads, plastic baskets and vases. We shared a love of crafting. I've spent the morning remembering the times spent with her at the farm, at Christmas gatherings and family reunions, and in recent years visiting her at Eden Estates. She was always showing her treasured collection of pictures or clippings. She was a jewel. I'll miss Angie.

Becky -- Always viewing Fair's funeral home website and I'm so sorry to see that your Mother has passed. You probably DO remember me -- I lived across the street on Valley Drive - Lynrock. We had some memorable times together. Knowing first hand that this is one of the most devastating periods in your life -- my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
