I remember this lady so well, she was our neighbor when I was growing up. She was one of the mothers in the neighborhood that kept us on our toes. Love and miss her so much but I will never forget her. One reason I can never forget her, she passed away on my son Avrian J Mack's born day. 6/17..Gone but never forgotten. RIP
