Carol,
I was shocked to hear of your mother's passing. She was such a fun lady, and we enjoyed many visits to the doctors and out to lunch. Even my grand children remember that "nice" friend of grandma's that we would drive. Loretta had such a great sense of humor, and a kind/generous heart. I trust your many good memories will bring you comfort in the coming months. She was always so proud of you, and felt blessed to live with you in your home. It is a pleasant thought to think of her in heaven, with her eyesight and health restored, and having fun with all her old friends! Even though we haven't visited for awhile, I'll miss my dear friend. You were fortunate to have such a special mother. Take care, and maybe we will visit in a store sometime soon. Enjoy a wonderful and blessed Christmas with your family and friends! Bill and Barb Crouch
