OMG, Terry and Daryl, I just read that your Mom passed on Brandi McGruder's page. I didn't want to believe it was true. You know I loved your mom so much. She was always so sweet to me and she did the hell out of my hair. My condolences and love to you and your entire family. I wished I had known so I could have attended her service. Is it possible for you to mail an obituary to me? I know it's a lot to ask, but she was very special to me! A legend has left the building!
