Dear Carol and Family. Thank you so much for your Mom. She was a lifesaver for my Mom (Irene Barton - AKA-- Heidie Barton.) Mom and your Mom spent alot of time together. I loved how whenever your Mom left the house and went by Mom's she would toot her car horn. Mom would say, (if i was on the phone with her) there goes Shorty by the house. Even when I moved into Mom's house she would still do the same to me. I wish you all prayers and warm thoughts. I am still dealing with losing Mom over a year and a half ago so I know how you feel. With Loving thoughts. Debra (hakkola) Dealy
