Lora and Family,
I am so sorry to hear about the lost of your mother. A mother is someone you can never replace. I have such great memories of her at your house and Hillside pool. She was always such a positive person and always had something nice to say. I feel lucky to have known her and the rest of your family. May God give you all the strength to get thru your sorrow.
