Brenda & Marilyn,
Your mom & I grew up together. We went to John Marshall Elementary School & I remember her from the first grade on. Then later, we would walk on our lunch breaks up to Tabernacle Church when it was on 25th St and watch as the radio program "Wings of Prayer" was recorded. When I was "home" about three years ago (I live in Atlanta now) several of us went to lunch together after church. That's the last time I saw her.

Bless you both for taking such good care of her.
