Heather I am so sorry to hear of your mothers passing. She was a beautiful person and always so generous to Buddy always thinking of him when she went out and about shopping to find him Thomas trains. I enjoyed the many conversations I had with her over the phone when calling for you. You are in my thoughts and prayers during this time. I will always remember your mother fondly. She was an amazing woman. Deepest condolences and sympathy....
