Velda, I am so sorry to see your mom has passed away. I have such fond memories growing up and being around your house everyday. Your mom was so precious. She had the patience of no other I had ever seen. I love you and I know there will be hard days. It's a hurt you've never felt before. Just hold on to all the memories. I know she will be missed so much. I love you Velda, I will be thinking of you and Judy in these days to come.
