We love hearing Melissa tell stories of her mom, usually around food traditions, things she would make and, memories from her childhood. It always made us laugh, and her legacy will certainly live on through the grandchildren due to these amazing stories and memories. Our deepest condolences for peace and rest during this difficult time.

We’ve shared much laughter, shared so many tears.
We’ve had a spiritual kinship that grew stronger each year.
We are sisters by birth, we’ve known each other from the start.
Memories ever lasting.
Love you, Tina.
