So sorry to hear about your mother. She was such a sweet lady and I remember her well. I remember the days when you’ll lived out in Carlos. She was always having to keep your dad straight (if possible). Both were wonderful people and have many good memories of them. Prayers for your family as you go through this period.
PRAYERS FOR YOU AND FAMILY!!
Thinking of you and your family Margi. It’s always so hard at this time of sorrow, yet I know she was very loved.
I loved my Aunt Nell. She taught me how to put on lip stick. I have so many wonderful memories of her. Prayers of comfort to my cousins and all of the family
