Sorry to hear about your mother's passing. I remember them from when I was a child. Don't remember seeing them much when I was older. She was a sweet lady.

Michael and Family.... May all your memories help you all through this time of sorrow. It is very hard to deal and understand a death of a parent or grandparent. May the Lord help you all at this time. Aunt Marlene is no longer suffering and has joined many of our family watching over us all. You have a tribe of Guardian Angels watching over you and helping you all.
