I met your mom at Caretel she shared her meal table with my mom the past two years. I fell in love with her she made me smile she had wonderful humor. I loved reading here her full life and how giving she was. She always mentioned her boys to me by their names. What a beautiful lady with a beautiful spirit. My prayers are with her family. I miss her at my moms table.
