To Earnest and family, your mom and my mom was the life of the neighborhood. I do understand your pain. It will be one year on the 25th of this month Ms. Mitchell will be gone. They are having coffee together sharing the paper. Her sense of humor will definitely be missed.
Praying for your peace.

To Earnest and family,
Behind that bossy, sassy, rascally front, Ida Grace Baker had an angel's heart of gold. She made a lasting impression on so many of us, as she "mothered" our entire staff in Rehab Services for all those years, getting inside our hearts in the process. I can still hear her say "Act right, Doofus". Please know that my prayers are with you, as my heart aches for her too. Blessings always to you & your family.
