Connie, I so enjoyed having your mother as my "roof mate" . She encourage my quilting and we shared our techniques. The "Ruby Red" Peony she wanted planted in our garden by the mailbox is up and as I look at it I always think of your mother. She was a treasure and has earned her place in Heaven. My thoughts and prayers are with you, .
