My mother lost her battle with pancreatic cancer today, September 8, 2010. She had an amazing spirit, and taught all of her six children, twenty grandchildren, and several "greats" a lot about living. We will truly miss her. Her obituary has been posted at the online version of the Sandusky Register. Thank you everyone for your kind words and expressions of sympathy!

  5. Thank you so much for taking time to think of our family at this time. The Hospice physician said he had never seen anyone with a will as strong as Mom's. She fought the good fight to the very end!
