In lieu of flowers, we ask that friends and family help us remember Mom by taking a trash can in and/or out for the neighbor, send a card for no reason, make a phone call to that long lost family member, pray for that family that needs God in their life so badly but can't see it, speak to the grouch across the street, take someone a casserole or cake just because, feed the dog over the back fence, leave a surprise for the mailman and always speak to the sanitation folks.

Jesus said to first: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. and second: 'Love your neighbor as yourself." There is no commandment greater than these." Mark 12:30-31
