Columbus, NE Saturday, July 25, 2020 I’m so sorry for your loss. Your mom will be missed by many. I remember growing up, her and Cindie and Mona being together a lot. They were always laughing. A few years after that during my teenage years and hanging out with Tony and friends in their basement, we would annoy her so much. She loved her family very much. May she Rest In Peace and I’m sure Cindie, Mona and Jeremy all there when she made her way to heaven.Sheila
