Dear Debbie & Wanda, I have not seen your mother in a long time but I loved her. She was so loving. Just this Friday I was playing Barbies with a granddaughter & telling her about my Aunt Peggy who had made me clothes for my Barbie when I was young. I remember when my mother passed Aunt Peggy said that Mom had given her loving heart to Tim & I. This is surely true in your family.
Love,
Nancy
