I wish someone had called me.... I love this woman very much even tho it's been difficult to come home and keep in touch she has been thought of often! I will truly miss her what a great wonderful person she was. I have never felt so welcome as I always did around Oberia. I will miss you and Heaven is a much brighter place now that you are there! So sorry to Tim and the rest of the family for your loss and I know you all will miss her sooo much! My late husband Jeff also thought sooo much of her. He loved her more than she probably ever knew. Love and prayers to you and keep me in your prayers as well. Love this family wish we could all have gotten together more often than we did in late years. Lisa Owen (Niece)
