Connie, I am so sorry for your loss but she did live a good happy life and she will be remembered by many. I know I will never forget all that she did for me as a child. I must have been a pain for her but she never let it be known. I loved your mother and will never forget her and the goood times she showed me when we were children. I send much sympathy to you and your family as I sit here blurry eyed with tears. Thanks to your mom for everything.
