Tim & Terri, Your mothers was always a bright light at our family reunions. Her laughter was catching by all. We miss those days with her. It was always a treat for me to spend a couple of weeks each summer with your grandmother, uncle Bob, and your mother. She always included me in activities with her friends in high school, and there were many of them. There will never be another like her. God bless you and your families. – your cousin Tim Aranjo
