Tara Lee and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I know from experience it is very difficult to lose your mom. I could not help but smile as I was reading your mom's obituary. I could feel her personality through the words. She must have been a joy to know. I am sure she will be missed greatly by her family and her church family. You all will be in my prayers.

My Dear and Delightful Mama G . . . As a child of two only children, you embraced me as one of your own and ushered me into the experience of having large, extended families. I will forever cherish your kindness. "May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest." -Dede-
