Jackie, Bob and Family, I am so sorry to hear about the death of your Mama, but don't you know she is so happy to get to see your daddy and her sisters today. She was such a sweet and happy person. I can just see her and Pusher, Betty, Willard and Grace checking out Heaven together. You and your family are in my prayers. Just know she is happy and in a place we all hope to go to someday and you have such happy and loving memories of your life with her.
