Rita, Judy and Buckshot, How my heart breaks for you but just knowing that your mother is in the arms of God has to be such a blessing. I loved her and Homer. I remember fondly her, Sister Cory and Mom sitting together in church. Some times they would get a little loud but the love of those women have comforted me all my life. Thanks for sharing her with me.
