Pat,
So sorry to hear of your mother's passing. The memories of sitting on the porch with your mother during the beautiful summer months of trumpet lessons with Evan has given me such beautiful memories. She was a wonderful person. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you during this sad time.

I knew Dotty because Marion Hawkins, my mother-in-law, was once her roommate at Greenvile Skilled Nursing. She had a wonderful spirit and was a very nice person. I always enjoyed talking to her. Sincerest condolences to all the Beck family.
