Her 60th Birthday,,Adam and Jessi Wedding Day
I remember when we were little and we’d run around the yard, and maria would yell out the kitchen window for us not to mess with the chickens, and she was a wonderful cook. We loved going over there to be with all of you. Your mom and dad were wonderful people and I know both of them are looking down on us from heaven.
