Memorials: Mother said the she treasured every card and visit she received these past years. The regular cards from nieces Miriam, Cindy, Heather, Heidi, Mary Ann and nephew Pete, as well as the many cards from mom's friends at Martin Luther Church and others brightened her life, were read over and over and meant so much. Those were the memorials mom cherished. If you want to do something else, mom would say "Hug Somebody"
