To lose your mother is to lose a very close and loyal friend who has known and loved you all your entire life.

To the Cotton family: I will miss Mrs. Cotton when I travel to Shoprite. We always met there and had conversations about what was happening in our town....She was always so up beat and just a lovely person to know.

She will be dearly missed.
