Carol & Martin were blessed with five children and eventually welcomed many grandchildren into their family. They also enjoyed traveling to many places in the U.S.; especially enjoying Reno & Vegas.

Our mother kept a garden, a garden of the heart, She planted all the good things that gave our life its start. She turned us to the sunshine and encouraged us to dream, Fostering and nurturing the seed of self-esteem. And when the winds and rains came, she protected us enough - But not too much - she knew we'd need to stand up strong and be tough. Her constant good example always taught us right from wrong Markers for our pathway that will last a lifetime long. We are our mother's garden, We are her legacy - And we hope today she feels the love reflected back from us.
