When my grandmother died four years ago, Ms. Mumaugh wrote the kindest words about her on the legacy.com obituary. She didn't even know my grandma. But her words were so touching and kind. I wanted to return the favor for her. Thank you, Ms. Mumaugh, for being an inspiration to our community and for your kindness to all. You will never be forgotten.
