Just ask anyone about the mouse in the ladie's belly story!!! When she was asked to come over, her first response was always "Are the kids going to be there?" Her love for life and laughter will be missed by us all!!! Funeral from the Matthew Funeral Home, Inc., 2508 Victory Boulevard, on Tuesday, 9/14, departing at 10:00 am.
