Dear Maureen, Paula, Nancy, Bobby and Ray,

I'm so sad to hear about Mom's passing. Although, I haven't seen her in so many years, I will always remember how loving and caring she was towards me over the years. I called her Mom and loved her like Mom. She will be missed! Wish I could be there with you all. With love, Debbie
