Angie,Susie, Linda and Kay,
Mom just told me about your Mother's passing away. I don't think there was to much that we did that she wasn't a part of . From the plays at the firehall to caring pooling us to school events. To our camping out at nights. I know you all will greatly miss her, so many of us will.
