Miss Doris,
I was saddened to hear of your mother's passing. I remember times when we would stop in the hall and talk about your mom and how she was doing and different things that she up to doing. We would always laugh and say "That is a blessing." I will continue to keep you and your family in my prayers. Here if you need me. Rita
