I am so sorry to hear about your Mother. I want you all to know how wonderful that she was to my Mother, Elvin Collins. Mrs. Godfrey called my Mother and filled her lonely days with a friendly conversation. I will always be more than thankful for what your Mother did for my Mother. Mrs. Godfrey was so special. God Bless! Pauline Collins Shofner
