I was sad to here the passing of your mom who was a childhood friend when we were growing up on 22nd and Pennsylvania she stayed next door to our family. We played games in the streets sidewalk back yard and watch each other back, while growing up. My deepest sympathy to the family in the lost of your mom and grandmom. God has received another one of his children. Precious Memories.
