Pam, Christopher & Dana,
I worked with your sweet Mom & "Boop" for 15-1/2 years at the Cookie Company she was....
Always the grand lady - always dressed "to the nines" - always gracious; that's how I will always remember her.
I know how much you will miss her, but she left you a beautiful legacy of love and caring.
You are in my prayers.
Love,
Phyllis Hendricks
