Jose Vanos

Today i got to experience the memorial of a life well lived.
my best friend's mom past away last week.
her service was today
she was a wife
a mom
a grandmother
a friend
and she will be missed.

dutch immigrant.
came to America sight unseen.
was a devoted woman of faith and served her catholic parish faithfully
helped her husband start a flower nursery business
from the ground up
raised 4 children
came to almost ALL their games
did daycare in her home even after she became a grandmother
LOVED SPORTS and BRIDGE
after being in america for 40+ years still had a thick accent
my name was pronounced yennifer.
traveled the world cruising with her husband in their retirement
gave great hugs and always made you feel welcomed
put her family before herself her whole life
will be miss by all she touched.
Until we meet again
Goodbye Mrs. Vanos
