We all share in the loss of your Mother. I met her in 1967 and enjoyed doing her hair on and off for the last 42 years. I enjoyed hearing of the things she liked to do and of her card playing times she could beat Ron. She enjoyed the times she spent with her children and her birthday parties. She will be greatly missed by all and I enjoyed her as a friend. My sympathies are with you all.
Charlene, I am sorry to read about your Mom. Our Mom’s our probably the most important person in our lives and I know this must be a difficult time for you. I am thinking of you and will remember you in my prayers.
