I feel as if I've lost someone very dear to my heart. Mrs. Fulcher has always treated me as one of her own - writing such sweet notes to me and always including me in the Fulcher family get togethers. To me she was just always full of "goodness". In my heart I know she has received her just reward and is now in a good place free of pain and suffering and with her loved ones who have gone before her. I loved your mother, Bonnie, Vicki, Cathie & Debbie and I love you, too. May your hearts grow lighter with the good memories of your good and kind mother.
