Linda,
I was so sorry to hear about your Mother. I have lots of good memories from my visits to your home while we were in High School. My prayers are with you as you mourn the passing of your Mother, and in the months to come as you remember her and the life you shared.
Love, Melissa (Pitt) Gentry
