Christy and Daisha -- Your Mom was truly a special lady. One of the things I liked best about her is that she was sassy -- and she could dish it out as well as she could take it. I have so many happy memories with her in them, and I cherish every one of them. I can still see her sitting in my kitchen -- the last time I saw her -- laughing as we put away an entire bottle of Bloody Mary Mix then drank wine. She scolded me that day becuase I didn't quickly notice how long her hair was. She was snappy, classy, fun, and a real treasure! I'm lucky to know the two of you, who are so much like her! Love to both of you! Tracy
