Jackie and Anthony, your mother was an influence on my life and a friend to my mother. There was a time we needed shelter and she welcomed us and feed us and I have never forgotten that specific time during my journey in life. We could never know all and how someone we love have impacted someone else's life. I hope you will receive my heartfelt words of sympathy. I extend this message to each of you and your family members during your time of missing your mother's presence.
