My heart goes out to all family members. I've prayed to our Savior to embrace Aunt Gary with his love and grace. She has been thru so much the last few months. It makes my heart feel warm knowing she is with Jesus, her mom and dad who she has not been with for a long long time. Now they are all together. My deepest sympathy to all remaining family members. Especially Vickie Teran who has cared for her mother for some time now. You are the angel she was blessed with while she was here on this earth.

Sending my deepest sympathy, love and prayers at such a difficult time. So many wonderful memories of this beautiful lady...but what stands out the most is the deep love she had for her children and family throughout life's path. For me personally, it was our short visits and talks about life, beauty and always looking our best no matter what. I remember vividly the love between her and her sister and brother, Ellen and Earlis, which was mostly from a distance in later years but so rewarding and deeply loving at family gatherings. They showed us how to love, laugh, dance, family first, enjoy short visits, and overcoming life's challenges with dignity and pride. Lessons we live by today. Love creates everlasting memories that can never be extinguished. May the memories be your comfort in this difficult time. With love.
