She had lots of nieces and nephews and extended family on both hers and Kevin's side of the family that will greatly miss her. The family would love to send so many many thank-yous to all the people who were in constant prayer for her and especially for the family that became a part of hers & Kevin's as well as becoming a part of theirs, Vincent (Bubba) and Carol Bruno of Pearland, Texas, a family that open their doors to live at their home while she battled the leukemia at MD Anderson in Houston, Texas. God has a special place in heaven for this family.
