Cretia, I am so sorry for you to suffer the loss of your Mom, and so very sorry for your Dad and whole family to lose such a wonderful sweet lady. My daughter, mother and I, had the pleasure of visiting with your Mom and Dad at Applebees Restaurant on Mothers Day, I believe...She was so happy to see us and talk to my daughter who is now five...God Bless you and keep you....I wish you and your Dad peace in knowing that she is surely with God and the Angels above and will be with you both in your hearts and souls forever more.
Love and Sincerety
