I was so sorry to hear about Mom passing away. I know I haven't seen her in years but she was/is always in my thoughts as you all are. I think the last time I saw her, we were at Ocean Lakes at Mom's place. Miss those good old days of Moore's Park and all our families together. Embracing hugs and prayers to all of you. Love ya, Mr. Kim F. Pittman
