Dear Greg, Tammy, Stacy, Danny and Family,
Your wife and mother was a wonderful and compassionate woman. She always seemed to have a smile everytime I saw her working in the Ramsom office. It was very obvious to everyone that she dearly loved her family and was so very proud of all of you. We had many conversations at all those ballgames over the years…….I won’t forget them. My sincere sympathy for your loss.
