My deepest sympathy and love for all of Jolene's family. I have so many wonderful memories growing up across the alley from the Knoop family. Your Mom was one of the best neighborhood Moms. She was always pleasant and had such a pretty smile. It was always a pleasure to catch up with her over the years. May you all find comfort in knowing how much she loved each one of you.
