Mom Knott you were loved by many. Thank you for loving me and allowing me into your home. You taught me how to cast off when knitting and I am thankful for that! You and dad helped my mom stay sane by letting me spend many nights in your home. I will miss you so much. Tina I love you and will always be here for you whenever you need me!❤️
