I’m so sorry to hear about your mother. She was such a kind woman. She didn’t seem to mind us out in the back, swinging on the rope swing across the creek! I’m sure you will miss her more than you can imagine, but she is always in your heart!

Your Mother was always beautiful and friendly. She and my Mother, Dorothy Woods, always had a nice chat in the Big V. I know how hard this is. May God give everyone comfort.
