Cheryl, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. I remember the countless sleepovers, the basketball games and the delicious meals prepared by a very warm hearted woman. I loved it when she called me Karen Mae and allowed me to call her Brenda Mae. But, what I especially loved was calling her Soror. I will keep you and your sons lifted up classmate.
