Iam very sorry about the death of your Mother. I have loved that lady since I was a little girl. Your Mother gave me great comfort, by telling her all my problems. She was one great lady who treated me like a daughter . I will never forget our talks on the porch. She was a great listener. I will miss her very much. She was a great neighbor and I enjoyed all my years with her. I will never forget her.
