My Mom just emailed me to say that your Mom had passed away. I am so sorry to hear that. I have many fond memories of her cheerful voice and laughter in the kitchen at Arnold Mills Church cutting hard candy and making apple pies. She was a lovely woman. My thoughts and prayers are with you Pam, Sandra and Kevin. May the memories of the good times bring you peace now and in the days ahead.
