Shelley, Sorry for your loss of your mother. I remember the good ole days when we all used to sit on the porch on Montgall and visit. Losing a family member is a very hard thing to get over, but with the grace of God he helps us with the pain of our loss by planting sweet memories of our love ones that stays within us through the years to come. May God bless you through these hard times. Please let me know if there is any thing I can do for you. Love cousin Bill Parrish.
