Gateway Optical Service

My mom helped start Gateway. My dad was the face of Gateway but my mom was the backbone. She worked hard at work and even harder at home raising 3 daughters. She allowed my dad to fulfill his dream and she took no credit. Please keep my family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

This is a post I knew would be coming but one I never wanted to post. After a wonderful Christmas morning spent with her family my mom decided it was time to go be with my dad and all her loved ones in heaven. She passed away yesterday afternoon after everyone but myself left. I had prayed for a long time that when the time came it would be quick, pain free and peaceful and it was all of those. It had been a rough few months for her but I believe she hung on to spend one final Christmas with her family.
For all of you who have followed our journey the last few years please know you thoughts,prayers, messages and check ins on us meant more then you know.
If you were blessed to know our mom you know exactly what a wonderful person she was. She will be missed by so many but none more than by her family.
