Oh Tina. I am so sorry for your loss your mother. Thinking of you at this sad time and sending all you, Christy and family love and huge hugs.
There are people we love that leave us way too soon.Yet, it is the very gift of knowing them that allows us to endure.
I have known the Vanek girls since grade school since we all lived on Heidelberg in Affton. Some great memories growing up with them. All three girls were beautiful and I sure had fun at their house.
I know Karen is running to the light to meet her savior.
Love and Hugs
Penny Spencer Teabeau
