Prayers to the family. She was “Mom” to me. I am an aunt to a few of her grandchildren, but she was mom before them. I will remember the food she cooked,playing pokeno, eating awesome shrimp rolls with bri nurse, her amazing movie wall she built and filled😂The random shopping..like who had a machine to make your own soda(the awesomeness that was Zelda)😂 but most importantly her big heart. She would be real and be there. So sorry for the family losing such a great person but now you all have a great soul once again around you all. Prayers for you all

My Top Cat Sister I Love you Always. The years that I searched for you since 1967 and just by coincidence we were reunited by your daughter Terri who became a member of Conestoga Angels I know that God made that happen and through that I was in your wedding and your daughter TC aka Shauna became a part of my family. I know it was God’s plan. I enjoyed our conversation last month and I’ll never forget you my Top Cat Sister. ♥️♥️👏
