I am so sorry for your loss. Your parents and my parents were great friends and went to Sandsprings church. I think I even babysat for you kids a long time ago. I just watched the video of your mom and my eyes are leaking. You did an amazing tribute to your mom. I am sure she is looking down on all of you and is Very proud of all of you. Great job.
