Dottie, I don't think I ever met your mom...but I'm sure she was a wonderful lady...and she's smiling down at you from Heaven right now. Losing a parent is tough...

You hang in there, and let me know if there is anything at all that I can do for you. My prayers are with you and your family. ~ Rollie Shoemaker October 6, 2008
