It was amazing the first time I have ever met Mabel, it was Christmas 2003. My husband used to dress up as Santa Claus and we would walk around the neighborhood visiting all the little children. When we were visiting Mabels block, she had come out to see what the fuss was all about and to her surprise it was Santa Claus. She then gave Santa a big old fashioned hug.
Mabel enjoyed seeing everyone from her neighborhood enjoy their annual holiday BBQ's in which she came to several. As of what I remember most about Mabel is what I hope to be one day. Just a good ol fashion gal living my life to the fullest.
May the Lord bless her as she walks through heavens door.
Rest in Peace Mabel.
