Carol, After seeing how long your mom was here, I realize just how special she was to you. I remember you talking about her. She is from Duster, Texas. My grandparents were married there. They probably knew each other's families. I pray for you in getting used to her not being here. She was a history book in herself. God bless you and yours in this loss. She is in a much better place. Gone, but not forgotten.
