Your Mom was like a Mom to me throughout our childhood as our Mom's crafted so many things together, and I treasure the Christmas items she made. I imagine her gardening along the front walkway wall still to this day when driving by the house. Life without them will never be the same, but so grateful she played a big role in my life. Memories help the heart heal. Sending you hugs n love ❤
