My memories of Mrs Green and her family..I would go knock on the door and I could see them all kneeled around the table praying..not just in the morning but in the evening too..I would knock on the door..everyone was taking a nap..everyone! ( I wanted to be in there taking a nap too) I see Mrs Green doing the mounds of laundry and hanging them on the line outside..I see Mrs Green and her children preparing a meal together..I never wanted to peel a potato but I would if I could of been in there with them..
I was always jealous that you had a big family,no matter what,you had someone to play with or talk to or just tease..
I'm sure you will all miss your mom,she was one of the kindest sweet ladies I've had the pleasure knowing..
Mrs. Green you have a lovely family(daughter too)
Love & Prayers to all..
