Thinking of all of you during this difficult time. Your Mom was a special lady, great friend to my parents and all of us, your Dad too. I pray for peace and comfort for each and every one of you. May your Mom and Dad rest in peace together. I must say your Mom never missed sending a card for my kids, whether it was a graduation, shower or wedding. She sent me the best card when my Dad passed away, one that I will keep and treasure forever. God bless her! Janis Jones and family.
