Julie and Tim, I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. In my thoughts, I can still remember her voice and laugh when I would come to your house on Hillcrest. Be assured-She loved you and her grandchildren (and recent great-granddaughter) very much. May memories of her be of great comfort to you during this time. --Love, Laura (Johns) Teatsworth.
