Jimmy, Stacy, Gianna and Jameo-we are very sorry for your loss. I now realize that your Mom was "Theo" in my Dad's building. I know many of the people at Newfield Towers and I can tell you that they LOVED her there. My Dad was one of them. Me too. I spoke with her often and she helped us through many tough times even though she was battling her own battle. Such a sweet, strong, brave soul. We prayed for her and hoped for a miracle for many years, but she is at peace now. Much love to you guys, Danielle and the little one on the way. Blessings to you all.
