Linda posted:

“Wow this is so hard to post. My middle sister passed away. She was always so happy in life, even when life dealt her a bad hand. She always had a smile for you. Her world revolved around her two boys, that’s where her true happiness was.

“Trying to remember all the good times and find comfort in her being in a much better place now. Please keep our family in your prayers and especially Alex and Tyler. Their Mommy loved them more than anything.”
