Reliance was a sweet lady. I always enjoyed visiting with her and she seemed to appreciate when we both had lunch with her while Bill was in the infirmary in July 2008. We even helped her eat Birthday Cake! I was disappointed that Randy, Lisa, Tracy and Joey were not named in the obituary. She loved her grandchildren.
Ronnie,
Sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. Hang on to all those memories. We are now the next generation. Having lost both parents, I send you my deepest sympathy. Take care.
We were saddened to hear of your mom’s passing. May the comfort of those around you see you through the difficult days. Hold onto the good memories..
