Dear Bob, Annette and family,Just learned of your sweet mom's death. Even when things are expected, it is still a sad event when one loses a Mother. Our deepest sympathies to you and your family.We did not know your Mom very well but we did know of her military service and have heard over the years what a lovely person she was. She had all of you as blessings in her life which she surely was grateful for. To have the love, devotion, support and admiration of your children is not something every woman attains. She must have been an amazing Mother to all of you if your loyalties to her were as strong as they were. Quite an accomplishment for her. She left a beautiful legacy behind.People in this life can only hope to "make a difference". Your mother surely did as a nurse, wife, mother, mother in law, grandmother and great grandmother. In time, hopefully, only the lovely memories of the life you shared with her will remain in your heart and become a source of consolation to you all.She lived a good life, and was an example for her family and friends on how to age with pride, dignity and above all amazing strength. All wonderful qualities that have hopefully been passed on to you and your siblings.Rest assured that you have a new "guardian angel" watching over you. She is finally at peace, reunited with your Dad and her many friends .We will remember her, and you, in our thoughts and prayers.God Bless you Bob, for being a loving, supportive son and friend to your Mom. She took your love with her and it lives on in her spirit. Love never dies…………Fondly,Celeste & John Coughlin and family
