Dear Jessica, Very sorry on the loss of your mom. Remember when we used to talk about our moms both being at Riverstreet. I lost my mom last summer and I think I know what you are going through. May God bless you and your family. Your mom will always be with you! That picture looks a lot like you.. Sincerely, Karen Nallon (from M & T)
