I really enjoyed visiting with you Mom every December. She always had stories to tell about the old pictures that I would bring to her to help me indentify who the individuals were in the picture. She had a great memory and was so proud of her loving family. She would make sure I would see updated picture of all her grandchildren. We are so blessed to have such a great loving family. Praise God for her in all our lives. Love Barbara Chew
