Billy, I am so sorry about hearing about your Mother's passing from this earth. Earth's loss is Heaven's gain. She was the sweetest person and I really did admire her. We were out of town when she passed, and I appreciate you calling to let me know. I wish I could have had time to visit with her more, but my own Mother has had health issues, with us having sitters with her, then the hospital stay and now Brandon Oaks Rehab center. My heart goes out to you in the loss of your Mother. She was such a bright light in this world and a good person, who loved you dearly. May God give you and the rest of the family comfort, as you heal from the loss of Minnie!
