Where to start....

My mom, Joy Lynette O'Donnell Spiller, went to dance with Jesus today at 5:20 am.  We are very saddened to not be with her anymore but also very joyous to know that she is pain and bag free.  She has had a tough 10-12 years but she was very strong and courageous and she never let the obstacles get her down.  Even just a week ago she said "if I could just get another year or 2 Doc."  She passed peacefully with her mom and me by her side.

Thank you for all the support we have received from everyone.  Her wish is to not have a memorial service but to have just a graveside service for the family.  HOWEVER, we will have a visitation for anyone who wishes to come by and pay their respects.
