Our mother had an amazing laugh, an optimistic personality that lifted even your spirits, a beautiful smile and of course gorgeous blue eyes. Mom absolutely loved life, loved her kids and nature, especially roses and birds, (Blue Birds in particular) and of course music which included the saxophone and piano; which she played. She was an extraordinarily loving and selfless Mom and sacrificed a lot of her life raising five kids, mostly all by herself. We were probably a thorn in her side one time or another, but that's being a family, she wouldn't have it any other way. We loved her dearly and appreciated all the dedication & hard work she did for us kids, which is why we are who we are today. Although she is with her loved ones in heaven and no longer by our side, she is forever in our hearts. We love you Mom to the moon and back! And Yes, dearest Mom, I promise to release Mystify! – Love you, Chris Yes Mom, the beach I promise – Love Cammeron I will miss your optimism, despite life's difficulties – Love Michael Your little scooter will always love you – Love Scott Your little big will always love you – Love Morgan We know she would not want us to be sad, so instead, we will celebrate her life with some of her favorite seafood, including Lobster and cocktails in a private family service to be held at a later date.
