Mahala,
I did not know your mom; I happened to read her obituary in The Progress-Index, and I saw your name. I immediately thought, " I worked with Carter-Moore at Sussex II." That's the story behind my signing this Guest Book. May God bless you and your family in the passing of your mother. May your precious memories of her and your faith in God sustain you now and always.
