Gina and Devin,
I was so sad that your mom was sick and I didn't know about it. I'm uncle Tee Joe's daughter Sally and she and I were the same age and were very close. I lost touch with her after Aunt Enola passed away. The one thing I know was how much you'll meant to her and your children. Yes you will miss her but she has only begun to live her life with our heavenly Father. I'm so glad we will all be together in heaven one day. My prayers are with you'll.
