Your mother leaves us behind
with happy memories of time spent together with Ma and Pap at the cabin in Perry County. Jay had an infectious laughter that
touched us all. She may be gone physically, but she will live on in our hearts. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal,
but love leaves a memory no one can steal.

(Murtoff) Reeves _______________ Oh such a wonderful picture! She was a wonderful lady. Loved her horses
and her granddaughters. She gave me a pair of shoes once. I will never forget that. "Rejoice ye in that day, and leap
for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven." You have been missed ever since you went to the nursing home.
My sisters and I loved you very much! Have fun with Casey in heaven!
