Barb-
I am so sad to hear about Ernavie. I will hold close to my heart many fun times we shared on Tripp Street. She was so proud of her roses that adorned the front of the house. I remember her cutting her roses while having on her brimmed hat. My thoughts and prayers are with you. There is a special bond between a mother and daughter that can never be replaced. May your mom rest in peace.
