Margaret, Jill, and Ted. So very sorry to hear of your mothers passing. When I think of her, the first thing I think of is her wonderful lamb cakes - First Communion memories. She was a strong, gentle, sweet lady. May your wonderful memories provide comfort. Im sure she and Mom are having a great reunion. Prayers and healing thoughts to your families.

Psalm 90:10 says that the days of our years are 70 years, And if because of special mightiness they are 80 years.
May the memories of the wonderful times you shared together bring a smile and joy in your heart.
