Carla, Your mom was such a special person. Although I hadn't seen her in years the memory of her laugh and great disposition is still in my heart. She loved life and lived life to the fullest. Ron and I are so sorry for your loss and pray that your faith and family will comfort you during this sad time. We won't be able to be there in person but will be praying and thinking of you all.
