I am so sorry to hear of your dear mom's passing. I last spoke to her on the 19th of November when I took my mom home from the Arbors. She was so much fun to talk with. We had a running tagline. She would say to me, "is that you?" and I would answer her, "yes it is, is that you?". We laughed a lot and she was concerned when I told her I was taking my mom home with me. Then before I left that day, she called me over and said that I would be fine and that she was happy I was taking mom home. I loved her so much. I am praying for you all to find comfort and peace from the Lord during this most difficult time. She always offered me her walker seat to sit upon when I was visiting my mom and I would be with them at the table. My mom is Mina and Miss Hazel sat at the table with her, Vivian, and Greta. I called it the pretty girl table.
